Speaking of the modules - what is the current status? I am longing for it and I hope
it isn't "rotting away" on someones harddrive somewhere... :-)
(I know - I could help out - but I really don't think I can do much to help...)
I haven't checked on the Swiki but currently I believe 3.2 is in gamma and 3.3 is in alpha.
Are we aiming to push modules out the door into 3.3alpha? I would really love to see that.
Yes, it will hurt for a while for sure, but after that... One important thing we can't
afford to flop on (for a change) is documentation. When modules hits the stream we need to have
solid tutorials/guides in place so that the confusion is kept at a minimum.
One last remark - if it is the work to modularize the base image that is holding this up I would
vote for taking a "cell splitting" approach. Start off with one or a few "huge" base modules
that we can chop up in smaller pieces in due time.
regards, Göran
PS. Working from home which means I can't use Celeste, which means that you don't get
CSOTDs for a change! Phew. Nice to be able to post away without a regret... ;-) DS
