First of all a big thanks to everyone that's been driving the Beta 1, 2, and 3, effort. From our standpoint, this is a big help. One of the things I'm trying to get a picture of is the overall road map so that I can help advise the right set of folks internally. To this end, I've got a couple of questions that hopefully make sense....
Now that we've got Beta 2 wrapping up, do we have an idea of what the time frame is for Beta 3 and ultimately Shindig 1.1? Does it make sense to try and use this recent set of work to establish a regular interval for releases? This would be a big help for planning purposes where it takes a while to integrate/test drivers with other code. >From reading earlier posts, Shindig 1.1 will be an implementation of 0.9. I haven't seen too many new requests for 0.9 Next on the OpenSocial lists, so is it worth figuring out what we need to do to stabilize/clean up the spec and get it to a 1.0 level and have Shindig 1.1 match that? If the spec doesn't change too much from 0.9, then could we reasonably manage this? (Please forgive me if I'm rehashing long heated discussions--I apologize that I've not chimed in much before this but I've been a bit out of pocket.) Thanks for thinking about this. Again--apologies if I'm whacking a hornet's nest. -Mark W.
