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, butlermh,nicolaken,ivelin,kpiroumian,shannon,proyal,stephan,coliver, crafterm,acoliver,stevenn,bdelacretaz,mlangham,michaelm,jefft,pier, bruno,asavory,ghoward,andreas,alexmc,egli,gregor,michi,edith,felix, liyanage,memo,thorsten,joerg,upayavira,reinhard,ugo,gcasper,mpo, antonio,tony,unico,jon,charlesb,bloritsch,ramc,leosimons,neeme,jefft, giacomo,colus,rana_b,mirceatoma,cziegeler,froehlich,lmccay,leif, mcconnell,leosutic,jrudd,morpheus,crafterm,vinayc,proyal,nicolaken, huw,ymikulski,mschier,sylvain,atagunov,farra,hammett,akarasulu

thanks in advance for your help!
best regards,
