Ronnie clarified that we have to go through some formal step before 
releasing. Why don't we call for a last round of opinions (and maybe 
assigning the last duties to trim the last glitches) and then pass to 
vote to release?

The current version number is 0.8.0, but sometime in the past someone 
(David?) created a 1_0 branch. I think we should eventually release with 
a number that  won't bring confusion or misunderstandings when we create 
a new branch out of the trunk.

1.1 was also my proposal. Damon suggested 2.0 instead on the argument 
that such a version number would make clear that this release is meant 
to work also with Apache 2.x.

How about calling it version 1.1 instead?  Then it won't seem like such a
large jump.

Publishing a fresh tarball with an identifiable version number will allow
more users to begin trying it out and giving feedback, even if we know there
might be issues.  It's not practical for some people to use software that is
not available as an RPM, FreeBSD port, deb, etc--lacking published tarballs
is currently blocking those distribution methods from existing.

Let's go ahead and call it 1.0 or even 2.0.
