Would you mind posting an announcement to the user list with this
information, and the other issues you posted separately?

I just posted the announce to the general list (here 
http://james.apache.org/download.cgi we say we announce releases in the 
general list).

Maybe we should send an announce to the user list, too.

I also updated changelog.xml in the site repository in SVN but I don't 
know how to *publish* changes to the site. I think I read it somewhere 
on the apache docs but I cannot find it right now. Can you help me?

I also plan to update the download page to give more visibility to this 
alpha builds, and maybe we should also add an homepage news, to let the 
world know something is happening :-) (please help me with a news text, 
because my english is not good enough for an homepage!)

Stefano

Thanks for the explanation (and the laugh). :)

I totally share your doubt about derby. This is an alpha release mainly 
because we want to be able to do *changes* before 2.3.0 and not only 
bugfixes.

I don't use derby and probably other james developer using the current 
trunk are not using derby too, but, as a default, the idea of an 
embedded db is good, so I hope that people will download this alpha and 
report here a good feedback, or we'll decide what to do for the next alpha!

The large TEMPORARY should help testers understand that this is not an 
official switch and that it could change in following alphas.

I hope that we'll have a faster release schedule for the following 
alphas (we probably don't even need to vote for this kind of releases) 
the next months and I would like to have a 2.3.0 final in summer 2006.

Stefano

Only for alpha.  We want more testing, and this is one way to try and get
it.

They ARE temporary defaults.  :-)

Man, I'm behind this week's email.

I'm +0.2 on the new release.  I'm personally not convinced with
switching to derby as the default, but if you guys have blessed it as
reliable, then great.

...however... the conf file in the svn release tag has large TEMPORARY
DEFAULT text next to these new defaults.  I'd prefer we get this
cleaned up, at least before a 2.3 final release.
