IMHO there is currently NO toolkit/framework out there which makes it easy to undertake language translation tasks... Joshua in it's current state e.g. Maven artifact(s), community language packs and source downloads represent the best resource in the field and this speaks volumes towards the user-focused applications perspective you mention above Matt. Additionally, there is a still a significant win to be had from continued development of 7.X branch (as new master) with the aim of further infusion into other Apache products and communities. We also still have Incubator graduation to think about... so there is loads on the table at this stage. My opinion is that we should make an effort to forward port everything from master into 7.X and then possibly make another release as the re-architected codebase. Is there any objections to this? If you are too busy Matt, then I would step up and champion the effort. A few questions right now; 1. Which branch is 7.X? Is it [0]? Is there a JIRA ticket open for this? 2. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to forward port issues from master to 7.X? 3. Which branches can we delete to clean things up a wee bit?
