We have previously used the convention of naming maintenance branches with the "maintenance" word and not associating them to specific maintenance releases. (Such as 1_0_maintenance.) I suggest we follow this convention again and name the 1.5 maintenance branch 1_5_maintenance. I think it is important to name the maintenance branches consistently so others can easily find the branch they're looking for.
As for the 2.0 work, I don't think there is any convention for naming branches with experimental work so as long as you don't use maintenance in the branch name I think you'll be OK. After 1.5 ships I'd expect that 2.0 work will continue in the HEAD branch.

Does WTP have an official branching strategy? Does it matter if all plugins branch in the same way as long as the right versions end up in the map files? I’d like to start working right now on 1.5.1 and 2.0 tasks, but I do not want to hold the changes local until 1.5 ships. I am thinking about using the following branch plan for the faceted project framework plugins. Note that that 1.5 version of the facet plugins would ship from a branch under this plan.
2.0 (main)
(now) ---------------------------------------------------| (2.0 ships)
|
| 1.5
|----------| (1.5 ships)
|
| 1.5.1
|---------------------| (1.5.1 ships)
On a related note, has a criteria been defined for the 1.5.1 release? What type of changes will be admitted? Will there be an approval process?
