[regarding a 3.0 release]
Bravo!
While it is true that most experienced users work off of a CVS
snapshot, most beginners seem to start by installing the
"latest release". Then when something doesn't work or isn't
supported, they're told that the "latest release" is hopelessly
obsolete and they should switch to CVS. IMO, wasting new users'
time like that starts them off with a bad taste in their
mouths. A new release will go a long way towards making eCos
seem like a viable project to outsiders.

Good luck. I'm glad I'm not invovled in that... ;)
