Do I hear releasing v2.0 in early August? ;-)
I put the template out for the release notes, here is the link.
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC20/release-notes-20txt.html
I added some new sections and moved around others. This is going to be the next
full-blown release since v1.1.1 so there is a lot of land to cover in terms of
"significant changes in this release" and new features. So please update the
wiki directly or reply to this thread and I'll consolidate the updates.
Cheers!

I saw a note from Gianny this morning about WADI and making a versioned
release. His comment was that he could make ait available a few days
ahead of time. So I guess that beg's the question when will we
release. I thought I'd summarize my thoughts and solicit input from folks.
Since we passed CTS in early June on 2.0-M6-rc1 I think the remaining
items that I've been thinking we needed to release are:
* Fit and finish items
- look at reducing footprint
- Running DayTrader and validating the server functioning, being
consistent with 1.x where appropriate and being stable
- Performance is better than 1.x where appropriate
- Get the legal stuff out of the way.
* Functional items
- Axis indicated they were almost there with JAXWS and Dims has been
involved in the G integration
- Complete CTS testing
- Testing and documentation
On the Axis front I've been watching their dev list and there seems to
be some notion of being complete around July 20 (Friday). If we assume
that is around the right time I expect we can start a set of TCK runs on
the 23rd. Allow a few weeks to finish that process and we can put
together a binary for vote around the end of July. I guess a target
release date would be around August 3rd (nothing hard but it seems about
right).
Once we have the major kinks knocked out wrt to CTS we should probably
branch (around the 30th ?) and focus on getting our binaries out.
Based on previous e-mails I believe we are shipping the following
certified releases:
Tomcat - Axis 2 - OpenJPA
Jetty - CXF - OpenJPA
Along with the minimal assemblies.
Prasad has put together a Wiki so we can track down our outstanding
SNAPSHOTs and start getting them locked down as well. For projects that
won't be releasing I suggest we look for folks to grab and build those
projects and get the artifacts into our repo in the SVN tree so we
minimize external disruptions.
Other thoughts?
