I'm not up to date enough to really comment on this, I've read quite a few archive messages, but I still missed a thousand or two. Can someone provide a summary of where things stand?
Oh well... I think that almost all the questions and the topic being addressed are perfect candidates for your opinion. :-) I, for one, would like to know what you think about:
1. releasing 1.1: what's left to do, what can/should be included, how can we fix that annoying Xupdate bug...
2. metadata. We have been discussing a bit about them, but it looks like we can't really find an agreement.
My opinion on this has always been that I'll respect the opinion of others. :-) Last I knew we had two competing proposals, what happened with that?
So far most of what I've seen in the archive is about Avalon, which is something I'm skeptical about. I agree with James that we should really focus more on improving the actual database engine rather then continuing to refactor the software architecture. However, it's also probably the case that there are people who will be far better able to help in that area then within the core engine so I'm just looking forward to watching how that proceeds and putting what time I can into working on the database internals.
3. Xindice 2.0. There have been dome threads about it: what is your opinion on the various issues that have been brought up?
Is there a list somewhere showing what people are currently thinking about 2.0 featurewise?
Well, that's it for now, but I'm sure that we'll have many questions for you in the next future.Kimbro Staken
Oh... and welcome back! :-)
