Agree, the development branch should be called trunk. Then we branch
off 1.1 when we get near release.

Yes. So we might have 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3 etc for some time and at the
same time have 1.1.0, 1.1.1 etc.

Something to consider is whether we want to make frequent releases
from the development version. That's how we usually do things and it's
good to get testing. Then we could use the old Linux kernel versioning
(which is now abandonded) and release 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.3 (odd X) as
development releases, and when we think 1.1.5 or so is good enough, we
branch off 1.2.0.

(Hmm... maybe it should be called 1.1 as Garth says if we use this
scheme.)
