Whoops, hit send too fast ... : : branch work should be included in the trunk. So we don't need to be : : zealous about branches / no branches (and I don't think anyone here : : is).
...i was going to add that i personally don't feel like a branch would be neccessary for most of the currently existing Jira issues ... but i would certianly think it might be a good idea if/when someone is ready to tackle "Make use of [WWW] HiveMind or Spring" or maybe even "FederatedSearch" ... it all depends on how expansive the changes need to and how long of a development process is anticipated. -Hoss
