- Zope 2.8 will include X3.0 (not X3.1)
- The Z3 developers will have *no* extra burden or responsibility to support X3.0 beyond what they would normally do in the normal course of maintaining it for Z3-only applications. In other words, it is not the responsibility of Z3 devs to make sure Z2 tests pass, etc.
- It *will be* the responsibility of the Zope 2 devs to make sure Z2 works with the version of Z3 bundled at the time.
- In the next few days at most, after a few loose ends are wrapped up, we'll ask Andreas to make a 2.8 beta 1 release. While Jim still has a few things to do, people will be able to start using the beta for real work.
- Anyone who cant wait for that can use the five-integration branch in SVN
Which is now as ready as we'll make it at this sprint. There are still a few loose ends (in particular we may want to synch up a few packages like zconfig and restructured text if it isn't too difficult), though those ends are not strictly necessary for Five support.
- As a community, we will work out how best to adapt the Zope 2 release process and schedule to that of Zope 3 going forward. We don't need to decide this immediately to continue to make progress on 2.8. I suggest an IRC meeting sometime soon to draft a proposal.
Thanks on behalf of the sprinters here working on this! I hope we can all gather in the IRC meeting. Regards, Martijn
