I'm not sure I follow the logic behind this. Wouldn't it be more reasonable to start 2.0 development immediately after 1.3 stable release? Trying to make it work within or over the 1.3 codebase seems like more work, with minimum reward, since alphas of 2.0 will effectively do the same thing, a

[Ledger-smb-devel] Looking beyond 1.3: Kernalization and requirements proposals.

2010-03-06 Thread Chris Travers
Hi all; Looking at this, I would like to suggest that after 1.3, we just begin work LedgerSMB 2.0. I would like to make a set of concrete proposals regarding this development. The basic approach I would like to push is that of "kernalization," or of essentially creating a smaller project with m
