<p>This document describes a plan for a 1.0 release of the
Jakarta-Commons Latka component (for the remainder of this document, simply
"Latka").</p>
<p>As per the
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html";>
Jakarta/ASF guidelines</a>, this document doesn't mean anything until
accepted by the relevant committer community via a lazy majority vote
(hereafter, simply "lazy majority"). Once accepted, it may be replaced by an
alternative plan, again subject to lazy majority approval.</p>
<p>Non-binding votes (votes cast by those outside the relevant
committer community) are welcome, but only binding votes are significant for
decision making purposes.</p>

<p>The objective of the 1.0 release of Latka is to provide a stable
and robust release focused on design clarity, forward compatibility, and ease
of use (i.e., with the intention of providing a stable foundation for the
further evolution of the Latka component).</p>
<p>Specifically, the 1.0 release seeks to
introduce and evaluate changes based upon the following
(ordered) criteria:
<ul>
<li><p>Freedom from defects (deviation from the
documented or reasonably expected behavior)</p></li>
<li><p>Interface and design consistency and clarity,
ease-of-use, and ease-of-extension.</p></li>
<li><p>Forward compatibility. That is, the ability to
add support for features that can be reasonably predicted without "breaking"
the external (and to a lesser degree, internal) interface of the component
</p></li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>The 1.0 release should also include:
<ul>
<li><p>Adequate documentation (including both
API-level/JavaDoc documentation as well documentation suitable for use on the
Jakarta-Commons site)</p></li>
<li><p>A substantial unit and functional test suite
suitable for ensuring the quality and compatibility of release 1.0 and
subsequent releases.</p></li>
<li><p>A clear demarcation of the "internal" and
"external" interfaces within Latka, as defined in the
<a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/versioning.html";>
Versioning Guidelines</a> document</p></li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
<p>Review Period</p>
<p>Friday, March 29 - Friday, 5 April 2002</p>
<p>During the Review Period specific design, functional and
contract changes to Latka will be considered on the Jakarta-Commons mailing
list, using the following process:
<ul>
<li><p>Any developer or committer that
would like to see a specific change (or group of changes) enacted or
rolled back will suggest it on the <a href="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
Jakarta-Commons mailing list</a></p></li>
<li><p>Any interested committer that
opposes a given change (or group of changes) is obligated to indicate this
disapproval on the list during the Review Period.</p></li>
<li><p>We will seek, but not strictly
require consensus on each decision point. If consensus cannot be reached,
any committer may call for a vote to resolve the issue via a lazy majority vote.
</p></li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>The Review Period may be closed before 5 April 2002,
given one "workday"'s notice and lazy majority approval.</p>
<p>The Review Period may be extended by one week (at a
time) given lazy majority approval, in case issues still need to be resolved.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Implementation Period</p>
<p>Friday, 5 April 2002 - Friday, 12 April 2002
(assuming the Review Period is not extended)</p>
<p>During this period, any remaining implementation,
testing and documentation will be completed. No new features or "public"
interface changes will be considered in-scope at this time (short of a
lazy-majority approved revised release plan or any "showstopper" defects).
</p>
<p>At the end of the Implementation Period, a formal
release vote will be called, subject to lazy approval.</p>
<p>A formal release vote may be called before 12 April,
but after the end of the Review Period, if appropriate.</p>
</li>
</ul>
