FYI,

I've started a slight reorganization of the series/milestones of the  
mysql-proxy lp project.
"trunk" isn't really telling anyone anything, so i want to label the  
series by their actual version numbers.

0.7 is the same as trunk (i haven't removed that one yet to not screw  
with everyone)
0.8 currently tracks jan's networkio-thread branch, i guess i'll make  
a new branch off of that in the mysql-proxy-developers space.

The actual releases we do are then tracked as "releases" (in the  
Launchpad terminology) in the "series". For 0.7 the first one will be  
0.7.0.
0.7.1 would be a bugfix release of whatever we find in 0.7, after it's  
released, and those fixes would most likely be backports from 0.8.

There's one milestone, 0.8.0a1 currently only tracking the blueprint  
for the network-io stuff. this will expand as we put in more  
blueprints in there.
The 0.7.0 release I probably won't mess with right now, but after it's  
out the door, I'd like to do more incremental "releases", namely  
alpha, beta, RCs "subreleases".
Confused yet? I am.

Essentially what I'm proposing is this:
MySQL Proxy as a whole is labelled "alpha".
Nevertheless I'd like to have more frequent source and binary releases  
of the steps leading towards a 0.x release, as they tend to not be all  
that often. (I'm working on setting up an automatic build environment  
for this here.)
We've noticed that in order to get more people to actually give it a  
shot it's helpful to have binaries.
So in order to achieve that goal, I would like to build binaries a  
couple of times even for interim 0.x.0 releases, that's what that  
little "a1" suffix on 0.8.0a1 means. I guess I could've labelled it  
"rc1", but that's really just a name.

Thoughts anyone?

cheers,
-k

P.S.: I think anyone can register blueprints. If you have something  
you'd like to see happening (whether you can/want implement it or not)  
please consider putting it in. It makes it easier to track and  
schedule. Thanks!
