I'm trying to understand how changing the version number of the driver would affect all of the current users.
Firstly my posts don't see to arrive on the list - so apologies on that front. I proposed a numeric scheme, but equally something similar to what andrew has just posted would apply. I think we should have a stable version that is pretty much fixed as after all there seem to be few bugs/changes and it gives users who require stability something to use. However many people, myself included often require features from the latest spec or other functionality that isn't available and having a more up to date version would be ideal. Splitting it this way offers the best of both worlds, then at some point in the future, I envisage the unstable driving being marked as stable, the stable becoming legacy/archived and a new development version started.
Do you mean moving to a versioning scheme or switching versions at some point in the future? Provided the current ones are archived and linked to on the page I would hope people are smart enough to be able to find the version they need.
On another note, I'd be happy to help out on the maintenance side of things, but think some form of guidance that you and the other committers have followed would be useful
