We've sorta fallen off the 2.0 wagon in recent months. Much of it is my fault, I think -- I needed a break, and set off to hack apps, and am just coming back now. And to be honest, Guile has seen a *lot* of features going in recently, and this is a wonderful thing. Wonderful, but it does push back on the 2.0 schedule -- features have to be documented, they take hacktime, etc. So we should be happy with the recent hacks, and happy to have a breather before bearing down on 2.0. Which is what we should do now, I think. Let me propose a draft to-do list and schedule. All of the to-do items are on top of our normal bugfixing and such. Please reply with additions, comments, or changes. * Blocker bugs for 2.0 - See if objcode space can be reserved for native code -- Andy / Noah - The guile <-> unistring escaping issue -- ? * Would-be-nice things for 2.0 - Merge in SoC work, finally (elisp, lua, peg parser) -- Andy - Test ecmascript - ? (For a long time it was broke at the REPL, due to a608cad27. Fixed now, I think, but needs completion :/) - Update website - ? - "Marketing" plan - ? * Schedule - 15 Dec -- 1.9.14. I think we need another (!) prerel to consolidate the changes since 1.9.13, and this will have been 2 months and probably 150 commits. - 15 Jan -- Branch for stable 2.0.x series, master becomes 2.1 - 1 Feb 2011 -- Release 2.0.0 I'm just pulling numbers and dates out of a hat here, but we need some common milestones to focus on to finally birth this baby. Thoughts, concerns, commentary? Happy hacking, Andy -- http://wingolog.org/
