Are you talking about your restructuring proposal? I will think about
it, but such refactoring requires a lot of time. I pretty sure that
we have to do refactoring sooner or later. But currently I hardly can
help you in this effort until end of June, maybe July. Also we need
support from David and Alejandro (I'm simply afraid to change
anything in jca, gds and jgds packages).

David? Alejandro? Your comments?

I think there will be more than 3 beta. Or 2 beta + more than one
release candidate :) There are some big open issues that should be
addressed, like driver performance, better callable statement
support, etc. So, I would prefer to stay in endless beta that is
stable than to release unstable version.

Documentation is something we're definitely missing here... Thanks a
lot!
