Subject: [Fortress] Time for a release?

Hello,

It has been some time since we=E2=80=99ve released fortress, over 8 =
months, and it has only core and not the others.  Since that time there =
have been many enhancements and fixes that should be made available.

I am proposing that we increase the frequency of releases to the apache =
directory fortress sub-projects.  In the past, before moved to apache =
directory, we released around once a month.  That is probably too =
frequent, but 5 or 6 times a year sounds about right to me.

That being said, I don=E2=80=99t believe a release means that everything =
is perfect in the code base.  There are many things that fortress =
=E2=80=98should do=E2=80=99 but that must not get in the way with having =
the best possible working code available for our community. =20

The problems we face: the only way to use (apache directory fortress) =
realm, rest and web is by downloading source and building locally. =20

So what do you say - can we get the next full release done sometime in =
the next weeks?

Best

Shawn
