Hi Simon,

first of I can't give you feedback for the wiki pages because I had no
time yet to read them. But I will come back to you later ;)

About the release date.. I think I will try to get all things done for
a milestone when I have complete the avalon -> guice move, which
should be within the next month. To complete this I will lookin into
replace phoenix with osgi as proof-of-concept for using OSGI.

Bye,
Norman
