Luis,

I completely agree with your assessment of the importance of
the 1.9 codebase. Like Simon, the "dead code" status of 1.9
was the main source of my irritations and frustrations.

If 1.9 is going to stay alive and will be actively maintained
until 2.0, then I will also add some extra
working days and feed all my recent bug fixes (done for gvSIG
OADE Beta 1 and 2) directly into SVN. That way, we can make
sure that there are no differences between the gvSIG "branches"
in regard to stability.

But we would have to coordinate this with each other. I have
a very tight working schedule for the next weeks, so would there
must be enough time allowed for me to merge all my modifications
and to fix the last remaining 2 or 3 bugs on my list.

Cheers,

Ben
