[sakai-core-team] [sakai-pmc] Possible release of Sakai 2.9.4 ?

[Matthew Jones]

If there isn't any strong interest in a release, I'd just release a new
2.9.4 version of Samigo only and leave the rest of it 2.9.3. It take a few
hours of my time to do a full release and has the side effect forcing
everyone who is building off 2.9.x to update everything in their custom
build to this latest version as the poms would be out-of-date. This results
in even more local work for me. Sakai 10 fixes both of these issues with
the audio plugin and the version (by getting rid of the indies)

I think if we did this, we'd want to recommend that new adopters either use
Sakai 10 (which is expected to be released in a few weeks) or the build off
the 2.9.x maintenance branch, as 2.9.3 would be out of date..Perhaps this
is just best practice/advice when the next major version comes out.
