Re: [hyades-dev] PMC transition and Post-3.0 plan

Yes we unfortunately live in a world
of parallel work ;-)

3.0.1 is a maintenance stream from 3.0.0.
3.1.0 is the next release with no breaking
APIs etc. as described in the original note.

As you know, the . in the number is
a critical and meaningful piece of information for eclipse plugins and
update manager etc..

If you are interested, there is a draft
document with some details about the thoughts of content in the various
point releases, plus what is in Bugzilla as targeted enhancements and defects.
The document is at 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextools.cgi/~checkout~/hyades-home/docs/unapproveddrafts/project%20info/plans/3+/FeatureSummary.htm

but be aware this is draft and not closed
or approved as yet.

Thanks for your time.

Subject	Re: [hyades-dev] PMC transition and Post-3.0 plan

Mike,

At the risk of "fracturing the discussion," has anybody else
noticed that 
there are two releases in September? I don't know what "coverage 
expansion" means, and neither will people deciding which Hyades to
pull 
and why. (I'd check that URL but the external network is down or too 
slow.)

Furthermore, having those two releases with very similar version numbers
is going to be a problem. The numbers 3.1 and 3.01 are only 
distinguishable if you see them both in the same sentence. If you see 
"3.1" written or hear it spoken by itself, it's ambiguous: you
don't know 
whether the writer or speaker is being imprecise and is really referring
to 3.01.

I'll take this to hyades-dev if you think it's appropriate, but I wanted
to ask on the side in case it has already been discussed.
