[fusion-dev] Fusion 1.1 Status

[Paul Spencer]

I must be slow on the uptake, but reading Jason's 'how to install'  
post made me realize that you are absolutely right.  For mapguide  
users at least we should be bundling Fusion packages with all the  
mapguide templates as separate packages - especially the ones that  
don't get released with specific versions of mapguide.

Not sure about storing them in the SVN vault or not, that would be  
something that perhaps the PSC should make a call on.

I think you should raise this on the dev list and I'll definitely  
support with +1
