Do I spend effort on 2.1, which is well tested, but at least two whole

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....
Definitely. As developers we have to consider this and try and unify to make things easier. I don't know what the ultimate solution is but 4 options definitely doesn't sound appealing.Eric--

GREAT!
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
.......

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. But if there are others
who have their livelihoods as tied up in t3 and fulcrum technology as I
do, they will be very disheartened by statements that t3 and fulcrum
should not be released and abandoned. They should be released and I
will make sure that they are assuming I can overcome -1's on it.
