Part of this mail is going to be open thoughts from me, so if you don't agree, that's fine, it's really open for discussion. I'm wondering what everyone wants to focus on for Seam 3.2.0. Obviously we need to support those currently running on Seam 3, and we'll also continue to work on DeltaSpike. I think eventually we will cut a Seam 3 release that's based on DeltaSpike Core instead of Solder, which should make things much easier for people when migration time comes, or if they want to use MyFaces CODI extensions as well.
We currently have 369 issues against Seam 3. I'm not sure how many we squashed during the Seam 3.1 cycle, but I know it was quite a bit, maybe 150+. I'd like to hear from the community as well as the module leads what they feel like we should be working on for this next Seam development cycle.
I know we have said we were going to focus on documentation and examples, and I still believe that needs to happen. Obviously we need to do some other dev as well. Maybe a good example though will drive some of that development. Right now the current examples are very weak and typically only focus on one or two modules. I have my Confbuzz example [1] which is up to date with Seam 3.1.0.Final, but is really lacking features. It could be a good place to start if nothing else.
Does anyone else have any thoughts or a direction they'd like to see things move?
