[Corelinux-public] Should we 0.4.1 or wait until 0.5.0?

[Frank V. C. <fr...@co...>]

As I have integrated Adapter, and am well into the same for Bridge and
CoreLinuxObject (need a testdriver example), should we be making
incremental drops for this granularity?

I originally thought that 0.5.0 would have the Structural Patterns and
our definitive string. At the current burn rate, and as a volunteer
effort on ALL our parts is to be expected (actually I don't know what to
expect as I have never taken part in such an effort), it may take a
while and should we be giving the community a sip of something. 

I am still holding strong that for CoreLinux++ the libraries are the
materialization of the process. Damn good ones by the looks of the
requirements, but the code is not all there is. This was the original
intention, to share openly a process that others may feel useful.

Don't read this as a rush into pushing something out, I think I have
wind-bagged the process issues so much even my children have disowned
me. I wouldn't put code into our CVS base without letting everyone know
each step of the way where the Analysis and Design were. And I am my own
worst cop in regards to design and implementation.

And I must admit, but am open to learning from any arguments, that the
patterns, in particular, are so shallow I sometimes wonder if we should
even have the types in the code. Seriously I am a Type kinda OO nut so I
see them as useful to the unexposed.

So there it is: Do we create releases at small steps, or wait until a
bigger milestone is met?

You have five seconds to respond <grin>.
