I see different components released at different times. I also see bundles of components - analogous to a distribution - released together at other times: like the latest framework, engine and gui together with some high-value plugins. I'd like to apply the same principle that separates downstream developers from packagers within the project, even though the same people might be doing both things initially. Ideally, they could be separated at a later point. So I think the notion of a project group apply here. So, should a group be created right at the start? Would it cause extra work to start with a single project? Charlie PS: Anyone who is interested - i.e. you read this far - feel free to join the planning discussion for NUnit 3.0. Some of the issues we are discussing include where to host the project, licensing, features and architecture. It will be most interesting to someone who uses NUnit, of course.
