I would like to get 2.3 put to bed (yes, you've heard this before).

I haven't looked at the 2.3 code in a bit; I believe Malcolm put in a =
"globals" property on IEngine.  Maybe there was some work on the =
contrib:PopupLink component?  And we'll check the documentation.

I would like to create a branch for 2.3 so that we can fold my changes =
and MB's changes into HEAD.  In a worst-case scenario, changes to 2.3 =
would have to be done in a branch and in HEAD.

Once we merge everything together and get it stabilized, we can see =
what's next ... probably renaming packages from net.sf.tapestry to =
org.apache.tapestry, then maybe a 2.4-alpha-2.  We can also see what it =
takes to get automated builds going, and see about redoing the web site =
to fit into the Apache look and feel.  Lot's and lots to do.

Don't forget to get feedback to Neil on the new Tutorial.

Other ideas:

Rename the JAR from "net.sf.tapestry-x.x.x.jar" to simply =
"tapestry-x-x-x.jar".  Something similar for contrib.

Probably want to work on build.xml to generate distros that are more =
like other Apache products.

A -bin distro contains the precompiled JARs and all the documentation.
A -src distro contains what?  A superset of -bin, with source code?  =
Typically, it's a snapshot of the workspace, does it have to be?  I =
really like distributing the source code packaged as a .jar, ready for =
linkage in Eclpise.

Start getting used to Apache Bugzilla.  Manually (?) move bugs and =
feature requests over to Bugzilla from SF.

Mailing lists ... when do we start to shift over to Jakarta/Apache =
mailing lists?

Yep, lot's to do.
