Here's my reasoning: 1. I think we all agree that 1.2 -> 1.3 was way too long 2. Quarterly releases seem to be a pretty nice timeframe for people such that you aren't constantly upgrading, yet you don't have to wait for eternity for new features 3. And here's where the rubber meets the road: We've actually put in some significant features and bug fixes, namely Java-based Replication, Tika Integration, new more scalable faceting implementation and on and on, not to mention Lucene improvements and other bug fixes. Read about it at https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/lucene/solr/trunk/CHANGES.txt Here's what's currently targeted to 1.4: https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=12310230&fixfor=12313351 Since I so enjoyed doing the release last time, I volunteer to do it again this time. Thoughts? -Grant
