Hi Tsvetelin, I agree that the documentation isn't keeping up with the releases. Unfortunately the documentation is often takes longer than the code changes, and isn't as much fun.
I think when T2.4 gets out there will be a big focus on catching up with the documentation. I think Howard is intending to complete his book after this release. If it is any consolation I still think Tapestry is better documented than 9 out of 10 open source projects. Regarding a feature specification/plan this sounds like a good idea. There has been some move towards this on tapestry/wiki. I think voting on this stuff is a good idea, and now we have the apache voting rules in place we have the process in place to do this. Determining release dates for Tapestry will be quite difficult, being an open source project every one is contributing their time outside of work. What people can do at any time is going to be a big variable, coupled with getting through the beta/release candidate cycle, it going to be hard to predict. Maybe we can aim for per Quarter resolution for release dates, e.g. T2.3 in 2003 Q1 With your own project release plans are you dependent on future Tapestry features, bug fixes, or are you after a road map. regards Malcolm Edgar At 05:30 PM 14/01/2003 +0200, tsvetelin wrote:
I would like to suggest something about releases involving new features. It's very nice to see a new tapestry release almost every month, but it's dificult for us (people who use tapestry) to follow new features, because there isn't enough information. I would like to discuss the following scenario: Making a feature specification/plan for a new release and setting a deadline for approving it. After the deadline the contributors must vote this spec and after that it must be publish in tapestry/wiki page and sent to developers mailing list. After the deadline no changing of this spec should be possible. Optional - a deadline could be established for the new release. If this process is accepted, we could easily follow tapestry development and we could make our specific project release plans and long-term development plans. That will save a lot of our time.
