I don't know, there's lots of dicussions, there's pages on the wiki.

There's no point in setting deadlines; everyone is working in unpredictable
spare time.  I like getting a release out every quarter or so.  In the
run-up to moving to Apache we decided to postpone some planned features into
2.4 and get 2.3 out the door faster.

I'm glad you're planning ahead but there's just no way I can commit to any
kind of schedule, as outlined above.  Tapestry releases often contain new
features, but most new features are in the category of "making what you
already do easier" rather than "new things your couldn't do before".
