Hi gang,

I would like to get releases together for Excalibur-Component, Excalibur-Event, Excalibur-Sourceresolve, Excalibur-Store and Excalibur-XMLUtil. These packages are currently being used in a 'CVS snapshot' form by the cocoon project. I'm volunteering to be the release manager and coordinate these releases.

Release candidates are available at

http://www.apache.org/~leosimons/dist-candidates/avalon/

and will be periodically updated until no big blocker issues remain. I will also periodically post an overview of the remaining issues to the mailing list. I hope to have a final release ASAP, in time for the upcoming cocoon release. Issues will be tracked on the avalon development mailing list; everyone is requested to send details of any issues to the avalon development mailing list, as well as any patches and/or status updates.

I am calling for volunteers to help fix remaining issues and test the release candidate quality and functionality. Note that all the people on the following list:

 stefano,balld,ricardo,rubys,ben,zvia,giacomo,gears,bmclaugh,bloritsch,
 rossb,jeremy,dims,ssahuc,prussell,cziegeler,mman,sylvain,vgritsenko,
 haul,morrijr,crossley,ovidiu,tcurdt,gianugo,froehlich,huber,dirkx,

have full access to the avalon-excalibur CVS and are invited to commit to it directly to help fix all issues.

thanks in advance for your help!


best regards,
