I saw the charts and the timeline looks a bit aggressive but feasible. I personally work better if
I know "when" and "what" we are shooting for; personally, I like the challenge.
It would be great if we manage to release a JEE5 milestone before the end of the
year, it will give G a big push in the right direction -> Release Early,
Release Often with the features the users want.
Are you planning to put a breakdown roadmap on the wiki?
Cheers!

While ripping out drywall this weekend I was thinking about our Geronimo
2.0 and all the work that needs to get done to complete this monsterous
effort. While sifting through the scorecard and thinking about all the
different things that need to be addressed it became a bit
overwhelming. As everyone knows many different projects are working on
their implementations of Java EE 5.0. Some are available and others are
works in progress (as is ours). It seems that from user perspective
people are really interested in the Java EE and have been asking for
several months about where we are. At this point it would be nice to
give them an idea of what we're thinking about.
I had previously put out a set of milestones and dates. I wanted to
make it a little more formal and of course with all the caveats that
this is open source and our timetables are subject to people's time and
contribution.
With that, here is an updated timeline and some graphic representations
that represent the Java EE specifications that need to be completed from
a high level.
I think it was Dain that used the term table stakes when referring to
the specification. Meaning that we need the spec related functionality
to get in the game but innovations beyond the specification were
necessary to make a bigger splash. I don't capture those here but I'll
work on pulling that together as well.
Take a look at http://people.apache.org/~hogstrom/Geronimo2.0/ and
provide your thoughts on how were doing.
If we are going to make a Dec 22 Beta 1 then we would have to cut
sometime in the next week and a half.
What do y'all think?
