It's ambitious, and I think most unlikely that mantis can be completely cleared, but there are probably some juicy ones in there that could be tackled that would benefit the project if they were resolved. It's an ambitious call, but throw in a little reality and there is something achievable in here and I think it's worth considering.

Consolidating efforts at present time, making a base to move forward from that is a bit more clear cut and defined, and generally polishing up what we have now sounds good idea to me, but then I admit I don't do nearly as much dev for OpenSim trunk as many others on this list.

I kinda like Stefan's crazy plan, so +1 from me.

I can agree with that, if everyone else agrees i have no problem with it, I would just hate for anyone to think that we are locking things up and they wont have our support.  And mostly i was more concerned with trying to clear mantis, that seams a bit unrealistic, as a good portion of fixing the mantis probably rely on us instituting many feature requests.  It kind of goes against the whole premise of freezing up feature requests.

Wise from experience, I would never propose anything as preposterous as to tell any core dev to do anything.

But if a substantial part of core devs and the patching community think it's a good idea and can be swayed to rally for it, I think we can see some really extraordinary measures that would make us all look pretty god damn good.

And hell, I stated it would be ambitious. Aim for the stars, hit the treetops, you know.

Best regards,
Stefan Andersson

Have you even looked at mantis??? there are 728 open tickets, chances are if we clear mantis, we will have OpenSimulator 1.0.. I personally don't see this as feasible, this is to me looks like us trying to control what all the developers are doing, and I have to -1 this idea as it would probably make most devs just stop working.

I do believe we're all feeling the advent of 0.7 - a milestone in any open source project.

Here's a crazy idea for you; how about we agree to freeze feature set and major architecture as of now, and concentrate on only:

* Finalizing the backend restructuring
* Clear mantis (hell, let's CLEAR mantis! how's that for ambitious?)
* Write unit tests

until the cows come home, and tag the cow homecoming rev as 0.7? Or, say, 1st of aug happens, and we'll tag 0.6.7 then instead. ;)

I believe this kind of solidified 0.7 would give us all a breather, help us recoup, and then we can all go back to fiddling with our various dev projects again.

What you say?

Best regards,
Stefan Andersson
