Versioning (Was: Re: GNUstep on freshmeat)

[stefan]

Hello,

What do you think about having single version number for whole GNUstep-core? I
would suggest to go with 1.0.0 after nearest -gui release. For more details see
short conversation below. It would be definitely good for marketing purposes
and for avoiding confusions.

I think that GNUstep is stable enough to be 1.0

As someone said: Evolution is not about being the best, but good enough. :-) And
it is true not only in bology, if you look how other SW looks like.

In addition, how can GNUstep have some slashdot publicity on the 1.0 release? I
do not know how it works, but often I see gnome and kde being there.

What do you think?

Sounds useful. A while back, when base was stable, but gui wasn't, we 
created the 'LaunchPad' name for the non-gui part of GNUstep. That 
showed that GNUstep was a stable package.

I've recently had problems with certain versions of base and gui not 
working together, so it would useful to group a know set of working 
releases together into one 'super-package'.
