Again, this would be entirely by agreement - anybody not wishing to do bug fixing can do whatever they like, but I do think even core devs get a kick out of bugfixing now and then, and adding stuff like those pesky last lsl commands.<br>
<br>
Regarding the mantis, there are several things that can be done; and what I was _really_ thinking was that "clearing" would mean "getting organized"<br>
<br>
If we can rally users and testers to help with the mantis, there are a number of things that can be done;<br>
1) De-duplicate<br>
2) Place mantis is "feature" vs "bug" - I did say "feature freeze" and this is roughly what I meant - the feature mantises would linger, but would not be part of this endeavour<br>
3) Off major feature bugs onto the feature voting site<br>
4) Re-reproduce and close of non-reproducible<br>
5) Place major issues (that would require major restructuring) in a "post 0.7.0" category<br><br>
This way, we could "clear" mantis, as in getting to a point where all issues with the current feature set is fixed or closed.<br><br>
Again, only striving to set a tone.<br>
<br>Best regards,<br>Stefan Andersson<br><br><br><br> <br>

Subject: Re: [Opensim-dev] 0.7 Release Discussion<br><br>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.<br>

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

<div><br><br>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.<br>

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