[mnet-devel] IRC chatter about v0.7

Okay, so the question is really: which branches (or which disruptive feature 
sets) do we intend to put into the first v0.7-STABLE release?  Here are some 
ideas. 

a) MT-VERYSTABLE; It has no UI or content tracking, so it's not really a 
   candidate for a package release.

b) main branch plus v0.6's UI and v0.6's content tracking; This is the most 
   "conservative" approach, intended to release v0.7 earliest.

Then there are the following things that could also go in:

1. Refactoring of peer-relationships/comms.  This is partially already done 
   in current main branch, but could be done more thoroughly, so that there is 
   *no* code *anywhere* that does peer-relationships except through the Peer 
   class, and there is no code anywhere that does transport except a CommStrat 
   class, and there is no code anywhere that does management of CommStrats 
   except the Peer class.  That would be nice.

2. Fresh new GUI.

3. Fresh new HTML UI (does anyone want this?  I don't.)

4. Polishing up of mnetctl.  This isn't really disruptive and could go into a 
   stabilizing branch I think.

5. Invent new decentralized database (Record Keeper).

6. Other big refactorings or big code cleanups.  See the "v0.7" group on the 
   issue tracker for a list.

7. Other big new features such as persistent personal content management, 
   incentive engineering, etc. etc., see the v0.7 group on the issue tracker 
   for a list.

8. MetaTracker replacement, e.g. ent.
