[General] Fwd: [Chandler-dev] Release number and date on chandlerproject.org

[Reid Ellis]

I would avoid nn/nn/nn for dates, and stick with "Oct 10, 2007"-style  
dates.

I don't think a version number is useful, and may even be confusing  
for Chandler Hub -- "Uh-oh, I only have Chandler 0.7.x and the Hub is  
at 0.8.x -- will they work together ok??"

Was the reversing of "version product date" between server and  
desktop around the countdown deliberate?
