    The incubator lists can some times generate quite a bit of heat
    without a lot of light :-)

    On the 1.2 vs 2.0 release we can address that we a branch I think.
    Get the code checked in and make a branch right away. Then continue
    on the 1.2 release path while refactoring the 2.0 code to be apache
    package names. I don't know about repackaging and stuff but it seems
    to me that it should be straightforward to continue down the 1.2 path
    until we are ready for a release. Could be part of the 'out of
    incubation' plan.

    OTH is it possible to do a 1.2 release sooner rather than later?
    Could we get rid of some of the planned features and get done much
    sooner? I'm not familiar enough with what is planned to know if that
    is possible or not.

    TTFN,
