Module leads,

When doing releases, we need to align our version numbering scheme. Currently, we are using one scheme in Maven artifacts (3.0.0-Alpha1) and one scheme for downloads (e.g., 3.0.0.Alpha1). Personally, I wouldn't care which one we use, as long as we use a single scheme. However, it turns out the JBoss has recently established a guideline for version numbers and I think we should follow suit.

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossProjectVersioning

major.minor.micro.Alpha[n]
major.minor.micro.Beta[n]
major.minor.micro.CR[n]
major.minor.micro.Final

So, if there are no objections, when doing a Seam 3 module release, please use the format 3.x.y.Qualifier[n]. There are some other conventions suggested on that page that you may find useful.

Thanks!

-Dan
