Here is a very rough list of what makes sense to me: - since lucene is on a new major version, the next solr release containing that sould have a new major version number - this does not preclude further releases on 1.x - for simplicity, and the "single dev" model, we should just sync with lucene's... i.e. the next major Solr version would be 3.1 - branches/solr would become the new trunk, with a shared trunk with lucene in some structure (see other thread) - solr cloud branch gets merged in - we move to Java6 (Java5 has already been EOLd by Sun unless you pay money... and we need Java6 for zookeeper, scripting) - remove deprecations (finally!), and perhaps some additional cleanups that we've wanted to do
