Gathering proposals for 2.1

Now that we're getting close to a 2.1 alpha-1 release, it's time to
really look closely at what is going to be included in the final
release. In my opinion, it's been far too long between 2.0 and 2.1
(almost 2 years) and we need to get a stable release out sooner rather
than later. I think that we should set a timeframe starting and ending
soon (say starting tomorrow and going for 2 weeks) where we will collect
proposals for 2.1 in the wiki. At the close of that timeframe, we
review/discuss the proposals and select ones for 2.1 with an eye on
keeping the release scope manageable. I think a deadline is really
required to get people motivated to write up all their proposals. (I
know I've got a few itches I need to propose to solve and this will get
me moving too).

 

A first step towards this will be creating a list of all the
enhancements already made to 2.1 so the users won't propose things
already solved.

 

WDYT?

I've got all the ones in that I care about, and my previous mail  
highlights the ones I think we should do.

Cheers,

I'm leaning that way as well. However, I'm not suggesting we take many
(if any) of them but we should at least see what else might be out
there...could be some killer feature we haven't thought of yet or a few
simple changes that would make everyone's life easier. If nothing else,
it provides the motivation now to get some proposals started for 2.2.

I think that's good, it's really just a final call proposals after  
which you have to wait until 2.2. I agree that sooner is better then  
later.
