As a user my peripheral comment is that this is the way to go. I have been waiting for 2.2 official, still running 2.1, seeing how 2.2 release has been stretched to be honest I was going to wait for 2.3 and install that. Bill

That's fine, but 2.2 is old news now and I'd like to move forward. So... since some of us have already put the Roller 2.3 code base through testing and into production, I would like to focus instead on getting a Roller 2.3 release out the door with full Apache copyright, licensing and packaging compliance. Here's what I'd like to do in the Roller trunk: 1 - Add copyright headers to all files 2 - Implement Proposal_RemoveUnshippables (http://tinyurl.com/rl8qo) 3 - Refactor for org.apache.roller packaging 4 - Put together a Roller 2.3 release candidate (with all 2.2 and 2.3 features) I'd like to get this over as quickly as possible (i.e. today/ tomorrow) so we can proceed with Roller 3.0 developments like better URLs and the front-page improvements. And BTW, Anil has already started #1 and I've already implemented much of #2. Does anybody object to my moving ahead with this work in the trunk? I'd welcome comments, critiques and suggestions about any part of the plan. - Dave On Apr 30, 2006, at 8:22 PM, Cliff Schmidt wrote: > On 4/30/06, David Crossley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Craig McClanahan wrote: >> > David M Johnson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > > >> > >OK, so Cliff says we need to have copyright notices on all files >> > >before we can release 2.2 and that we should make the release on >> > >Apache infrastructure this time. >> > > >> > >He also mentioned that somebody has a script that will >> automatically >> > >apply said copyright notice to all source files.
