I didn't explain the meaning of mile-stone and this release. We plan to release at three steps.
The first step is alpha. In alpha version, we show the implementation of the concept and the architecture. We especially concentrated on RPC protocol conversions. The second step is beta at the middle of October. In beta version, we show the usage of the concept and the architecture. We will especially concentrate on code generators which generate protocol conversion codes from IDL. So, you can use Common Desktop Infrastructure by only writing IDL. And, We plan to distribute the programs under OpenSource/Free Software licenses. In beta version, the developers of Common Desktop Infrastructure need to develop with considering each component. So, we will release third version. The third version is product version at the end of this year. In product version, we provide the common (or abstract) component. Therefore, we can realize the concept and the architecture.

The architecture of Common Desktop Infrastructure is written in http://www.smg.co.jp/opensource/CommonDesktopInfrastructure/products/Archite cture%20Design%20Document.pdf Unfortunately, this software can't be distributed, copied and modified in this version. But, We plan to release Common Desktop Infrastructure under OpenSorce/Free Software License before end of this year.
