In my view the following features would be required before I would feel comfortable going beta. 1. Rework excalibur.thread.* like previously discussed. 2. Full Management interface (server end almost there) and clean interaction between applications and management interface. Requires (1). Time: <10hrs. 3. Management Console/Client Interface. (CLI version and optionally a GUI version). Requires (2). Time: ???. 4. Rework kernel so that thread boundaries are respected and secure. Requires (1). Time: 3hrs. 5. Rework kernel so that services are offered via proxied interfaces. Time: ???. (Could be short job or long one) 6. Specify and implement a VFS like mechanism so .sar files don't have to be unjarred. Time: 3hrs if we take quick and easy path. 7. Rework kernel so that Facility providers can be other SARs. Requires: (1). Time: <7hrs 8. Rework Management and Logging Facilities so that they are provided by SARs. Requires: (7). Time: 1hr 9. Determine and asses if we need a naming service, if so implement using cadestre. Requires: (7)+(2). Time: ????. 10. Clean up log messages so they are nicer for admin (rather than developer). Anyways thats what I see as required.
