The next steps (towards 0.8.0)

Hey dudes,

  so, we finally got 0.7.0 out and Fredrik got his subversion account.
What do you think of the next steps? I'd go on like this:

Keep on developing bug fixes and improvements for 0.7.0 in 0.7.x
versions. Once we feel like it, we can try to come down to a stable
release 0.8.0. Then we can continue bug fixing for that version in a
dedicated 0.8.x branch, while we start real development for 0.10.0 (or
1.0) in a 0.9.x series.

This would allow several things:
1. more releases: some of you may have noticed, the latest release got
quite some nice feedback on the bug tracker; we should release more
often, to invite more people to test unstable passepartout versions.
2. we can start larger changes to the internals when we have a dedicated
unstable series. The unstable release can come down to a certain
stability when we start focusing on the next stable release. GNOME has
made a really good progress with this kind of development.

In my optinion we should look at some larger distributions (Fedora,
Ubuntu, Suse) and check when they will freeze the source code versions
of their packages, so we can get 0.8.0 distributed pretty widely (to get
much more feedback).

Commants? Flames?

Regards,
  Sven
