[OPEN-ILS-DEV] [RM] Call for roadmap entries for Evergreen 3.0

[Chris Sharp]

Hi all,

Galen - congratulations again on being RM for the next release!

I think the criterion for a "3.0" release is pretty straightforward.  If the web client will be fully usable in all major functionality (Circulation, Cataloging, Administration, Acquisitions), with multiple printer options and standalone in place and easily installable by a reasonably experienced Windows administrator, we should call it 3.0 and have a big splash news release about it.  If not, I think we should go with 2.10.

I agree that beating the dead horse of release numbering in general is not productive, but as with 2.0 several years ago, 3.0 should mean more than "that number was next".
