Hi Justin;

In fact you bring up some useful points.  There might be some 
advantages to having some more formal guidelines for branching and 
tagging in the project, HOWEVER, the overriding concern you bring up is 
that we NEED to release a 'new stable' build soon.  I will start down 
this path and get a branch going for candidacy as our next stable 
release. I believe we decided internally that it would be either 0.9 or 
1.0, but this is an open discussion for all active developers and 
designers.

So, since we (I) missed getting the release out prior to Christmas, 
shall we take aim at a stable reSIProcate release pre-Valentine's Day 
(Feb 14) ?

Thanks for the excellent questions.

Alan
