Hi,

I'd like to propose a few steps to get us moving forward on the 0.11 
topic, as we're gradually getting to the feature set we wanted to have. 
A lot has already been done in the past 8 months, but there's definitely 
some work ahead of us. There are currently a few working branches that 
could be integrated:
 - genshi510
 - pycon/workflow
 - security
 - vc-refactoring
 - pycon/render-filter

In particular, there's genshi510 that could probably benefit a lot to be 
on the trunk, so that we can fix the remaining issues as we see them. 
That was probably the initial intent of cmlenz when he did the changes 
directly on trunk. The problem I had with this approach was that it 
broke the usability status of trunk for an unspecified amount of time, 
while there were a lot of people  trying out trunk on the assumption 
that it was stable enough for their needs. I didn't want to break this 
assumption in people's mind, as I think it's actually a very good thing 
that we have people trying out trunk and willing to report the few 
occasional issues they might stumble upon. So I moved those changes on a 
stabilization branch, and as a result the trunk was indeed usable again 
but the branch has stalled...

So what I'd like to do instead is to release a 0.11beta1, as trunk 
stands now, and let people know that they should use this if they want 
to try out 0.11dev, because the trunk will become temporarily quite 
"unstable". We'll then merge genshi510, then the workflow branch. One, 
two, three weeks later at most, things will have settled down again and 
trunk will recover its "usable" status.

Once the workflow is in, I think there are a few very popular feature 
requests that it would be nice to fulfill: #454 and #4100.

I'll try to find some time to give some more details on the other topics 
I'm currently working on, and which I'd like to finish or at least put 
in "good enough" shape for 0.11, but here's a quick overview:
 - the simplification/clarification of the WikiContext API, emphasizing 
more its resource descriptor aspect, and the update of the security branch
 - the vc-refactoring, started with Peter, which only simplifies the 
versioncontrol/web_ui modules (no change of functionality). This 
reintroduces some of the ideas of the controller branch from 
Christopher. Further developments to come soon.
 - ... then the wiki refactoring, which truly exists somewhere on my 
hard disk, believe me ;-)
