 By x.y and x.z do you mean versions?

Yes.

 Would these differ from the
 phases in the overall specification?

Is there a URL for this?

 Are you proposing specific changes in the way we work, or just a shift
 in thinking?

Just wondering out loud about whether we could be harvesting knowledge
better into a set of living documents (instead of archived emails).

 Code wise, I guess the product is a mix of LP features, Bazaar
 features and Bazaar plugins. OTOH, those things come together to form a
 system.

 There's a huge amount of wisdom being imparted each week on this list.
 Perhaps we should turn some of the threads into tutorials (either in a
 wiki or bzr branch) or a UDD Hackers Guide say. Is it too early for that?

Interesting question.  My feeling is that if there was a technical
product, it would be primarily a document describing how to do it, and
including by reference the bzr etc versions that you can use to do it.

I don't know if specifically reifying it as a Product helps.

Right now we're clearly at 0.something; perhaps after we get to 1.0 we
will think of doing a large step to UDD 2.0.

If you would like to lead/write a document about it that could be a
valuable contribution.  Obviously there is some stuff already written
but I don't think someone can say so what's UDD all about and how to
I do it quite as easily as we would like.

UDD as a product?
