Re: [wtp-incubator-dev] Vex 0.5 Release?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This does sound like great progress.


But, as a reminder, given the subject
line, we, in WTP, normally do not do a "release" of incubating
code, in the formal sense of an Eclipse Release. That is, we don't do them
as a "stake in the ground", nor as a way to "encourage use".
 Only if openly required by an adopter for their own release. It could
be billed as a "significant milestone" or similar, but a "Release"
means "ready for product use" and that is a high bar, if still
incubating. But, yes, a well advertised milestone, with webinars, tutorials,
etc., all sound great and would encourage use and eventual adoption. 

That said, Helios will be over soon,
and when it is, we still need to "hit the ground running" with
next year's M1 shortly after, so it would be good to put in place a plan
to join the rhythms of WTP's weekly and milestone builds  starting
in July, for the next release.

Holger,

I had the opportunity to put Vex through some paces this week.  First
let me say that it has come a long way in a very short period of time.
  
The stability is good, and I used it to help create a DocBook version of
the Eclipse Public License for use by the foundation.    So I
was 
wondering what your thoughts were on making a public version of Vex 0.5
available in the next couple of months.

Also, I think we should shoot for a Vex 1.0 version for release sometime
next year.

Thoughts?

Dave
