All I know, is that as a new user, I would be very challenged to figure out what to use...
Do I spend effort on 2.1, which is well tested, but at least two whole releases behind the latest and greatest (4.x). Or, do I split the middle, and go with either 2.2 or 3.x, but then why do both of them have components of Fulcrum? And what is Fulcrum? If we have 4 seperate options, then I forsee many many emails goint to the users list on "What should I use to build my app...". Would it not be better to mash the rest of the good stuff in 2.2 into 3.x, and provide only 2.1, 3.0, and upcoming 4.0? Or, tell people to use 2.2 (not 2.1) and call 2.2 the well tested stable version. Having 4 options seems to much....

Then we'll be able to present not only three but four choices to new users: Turbine 2.1 Original and stable code base, well tested Turbine 2.2 Based on a decoupled Torque 3.0 (+ some of the fulcrum services) Turbine 3.x Based on a decoupled Service layer Fulcrum + Torque 3.0 Turbine 4.x (codename summit) based on avalon ....... - Kasper > I fully support the direction Jason is trying to push the > design of applications and so do the other turbine developers, so there > is no reason summit cannot be the basis for t4.
