What about daytrader? Do we plan to release daytrader also for 2.1?
In my opinion this is a separate discussion from the 2.1.2 server
release or even a release of the other samples (which to a large extent
is also independent of a server 2.1.2 release).
I'd recommend starting a new thread to see if there is any interest in
releasing Daytrader for 2.1 or whatever.

Based upon feedback here, via IRC, and otherwise, I have updated the wiki
for 2.1.2 to refine the list of required and optional items. At the moment
the only required items are:
- Javamail spec & providers 1.5
- Geronimo-4175 - Already completed for 2.1.2
- Samples for 2.1 (or 2.1.1) capable of running on 2.1.2. We still need to
decide how we will accomplish this and if the Samples must be released prior
to a 2.1.2 Server release. It is possible to release Server 2.1.2 where the
Samples 2.1 (2.1-SNAPSHOT with dependencies on Server 2.1 components) can be
installed on 2.1.2 even if the samples themselves are not yet released.
I have marked all optional JIRAs with a "fix for" 2.1.2 so that there is
some indication in the JIRA that this is desired. Those JIRAs in the
optional list will be moved to 2.1.x if they are not yet resolved as we lock
down the release (when we create the branch).
The wiki is here:

Given that there were no objections to my offer to be release manager for
2.1.2 - I'll go ahead and assume the role :-).
There have been a number of JIRAs identified as required and others as
optional. In addition to this there were already several already tagged
with a "fix version" of 2.1.2. I added all of these latter ones to the
optional category. At the moment I think things are current in the wiki:
http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxPMGT/geronimo-212-release-plan.html
Several of the JIRAs that have been identified do not yet have an owner.
We may need to discuss how critical these truly are for a 2.1.2 release.
In addition to the JIRAs there have been several other items mentioned for
2.1.2:
- Javamail? Currently there is an optional item to release and include a
new version of javamail. Given the recent fixes I think it perhaps should
be required. Are you working on a release Rick and if so, what is the ETA?
I can pitch in to get a release out if you don't have the cycles.
- CDDL xsds? David mentioned the possibility of using the cddl xsds rather
than our xsds to generate xmlbeans classes. I'm not familiar with how much
work is necessary here or if it is feasible in the short time-frame that we
are considering for a 2.1.2 release. Any more feedback?
- Accessibility? There has been some discussion and work on accessibility
improvements for the console. At this point in time, I think it makes sense
to integrate some items before we lock things down. However, I don't think
we should make this a requirement for the release and we'll need to stop the
updates early enough so that we can validate there is no breakage before we
create a release candidate (see proposed dates below). Comments?
Is there anything else that we're missing?
I'd like to get a release candidate available within a few weeks if
possible. Perhaps 7/21 is a good target locking down the content (code
freeze). If we release javamail we might need a little more time than that.
Does that sound reasonable to all? That would give us a shot at getting a
release candidate available by 7/24 or so and if all goes perfectly a
certified release and out the door by 7/31.
