Hi all,
this discussion is triggered by some request recently received on user@=20
[1] but also about the ongoing development effort towards 2.0.0.

AFAICT, the current status can be summarized as follows:

  1. feature-wise, core is currently in a quite self-consistent state,=20
even tough relevant new feature are ATM set to be implemented in 2.0.0=20
(mainly SYNCOPE-699 / SYNCOPE-129 / SYNCOPE-534); naturally, there might =

be bugs, especially considering the great amount of additions compared=20
to 1.2.X

  2. console is still under active development to reach usable state=20
(remember we started it from scratch in 2.0.0) - Fabio and Marco are on i=
t

  3. enduser is more or less in the same situation of console, possibly=20
a bit more close to the end - Andrea is on it

  4. cli should be almost complete - Massimiliano is on it

  5. documentation is less than half-way: getting started needs to be=20
adjusted with latest additions and reference guide is simply yet to be=20
written - I am on it, but seeking for contributions, especially by=20
native speakers - read Colm :-)

Given this overall situation, I would propose to:

  (i) keep pushing on 2, 3, 4 and 5 above
  (ii) fix on (1) on request
  (iii) as soon as 2 and 3 are in a presentable state, start thinking of =

milestone releases (2.0.0-M1, 2.0.0-M2, etc)

As far as I can see it, it would be really nice to cut 2.0.0-M1 before=20
the end of year.

WDYT?
Regards.
