lol yeah, I believe the intent of the original author was to hold off on D7 until D6 matured more from a crontrib standpoint. I'll +1 that idea. D5 was and still is a very mature platform that you can develop and build off of, seemingly without "need" to upgrade if you have a site up and running stablly; this isn't always the case with 6 with some of the more major projects just getting to full releases in the last 6 months.<br>
<br>I think once D6 stablizes and you start to feel that clamoring for D7 is the time to move to it. I know there's a push to keep the community / versioning alive and active since it's a very deliver or die out in the open source world and we want to stay on top of over big projects in our space but having a full functional D6 that people are adopting the APIs / features of and THEN working towards 7 is probably a better idea.<br>
<br>I've started to notice a bunch of dev / alpha D7 module ports too; maybe having versions of D7 released and keeping it in the alpha phase longer (once it reaches that point) will encourage developers to play around with it and start porting things over in the interum. No timeline, no "this is the date we move", a more organic window to maturation much like the nature of open source in the first place...<br>
<br>Or get it out tomorrow; I'll end up using it either way ;)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:58 AM, Daniel F. Kudwien <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:news@unleashedmind.com">news@unleashedmind.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>In case this really was ambigious:<br>
<br>
Let it [D6] mature.<br>
<div class="im"><br>
=> i.e. defer the code freeze for D7.<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>Obviously, I mean the exact opposite of what you understood. Contrib needs time to catch up with core.<br>
