[cle-release-team] Emerging consensus to focus on 2.10

[Neal Caidin]

Hi All,

Summary
-----------------
There appears to be an emerging consensus to shift the development focus to 2.10.  If you have concerns about this please speak up. 



Supporting evidence
----------------------------------------
This consensus is based on :

* The TCC discussion at Open Apereo 2013 (under future release cycles) - https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/TCC/2013+Apereo+TCC+Meeting+Notes 

* The email discussion thread - http://sakai-project-mail-list-archives.1343168.n2.nabble.com/sakai2-tcc-CLE-2-9-4-vs-CLE-2-10-effort-tt7591837.html

* Today's CLE release team meeting with approximately 13-14 attending, for which there was consensus to focus on the 2.10 release


Additional thoughts
-----------------------------------
It seems to me that there are still some open questions with 2.10, but nothing that would prevent us from shifting development/qa focus onto it. In my mind we still need to flesh out the goals for 2.10, work on a realistic timeline, and perhaps, most difficult of all, decide on a name ! :-)   

2.9 will continue to be supported as the production release, of course, and we might want some further discussion on the best way to manage the 2.9.x branch and/or community expectations (e.g. keep track of 2.9.x changes post-2.9.3 ; possibly create a 2.9.4 tag at some point [though there was not a lot of enthusiasm on today's CLE call for that strategy], etc.).



If I have misstated anything, please feel free to correct me. 

Thanks!
Neal
