RE: [Bodington-developers] bodington.properties defaults

[Paul D. <pau...@co...>]

I'm seeing this from a marketing perspective.  At the last Buzz we promised
2.6 in late July (and 16 establishments signed up for notification of a new
release), and the next Buzz is 22 August.  What do we give away then?  It's
not worth doing new Bodix CDs for 2.1 or whatever the current CD is.  2.6
has quickstart war, easybuilder, ACL, wysiwyg widget etc - lots of user
functions.  We showed that now is a good time to get academically-related
people's attention. From a marketing perspective I think we should release
asap if at all possible, even if it means losing some functionality in the
short term.

Luckily I was out yesterday and missed all those mails!

Apart from OSSWATCH wanting to get on with making a new Boddix CD, is 
there a deadline for the CD?

I think it would be preferable to delay 2.6. At Oxford we've decided 
that we will upgrade our live WebLearn server with our latest code at 
the end of the month whether 2.6 is complete or not. Is a 2.6 delay a 
problem at UHI? I guess so...
