as promised, we spoke about core version numbering schemes and code names at drupalcon. i wrote up a 1-page hand-out summarizing the 2 big threads we already had on this list and gave it out to folks for consideration. yesterday evening, dries and i finally had a chance to sit down and talk through the hand-out, why it's important, and what we should do. briefly: he's opposed to code names, leaning towards the 2-digit solution, but wants to gather some more feedback before he makes his final decision. he asked me to put the text from the handout into a forum post, along with a table summarizing the pros and cons of the 2 viable proposals. this way, people can clearly see what the options are and don't have to reiterate or get fixated on 1 pro or con and lose sight of the big picture. request for comments (RFC): http://drupal.org/node/85943 thanks, -derek (dww) p.s. please don't reply to this email, just comment in the forum post. that way, people who truly don't care won't get spammed by your email, and those who do can read your thoughts online.
