The FirstFriday was a little bit active and some Bugzilla issues were addressed. The Roadmap shows that there are some major problems still: http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=25321
Do we really want to release in this state?
Yes, we should IMO. Open issues are
flow: importPackage/importClass problems creating InitialContext() => bug is half a year old, we released it already
JXTemplate evaluates expressions in comments, need jx:comment? => minor issue
Processing pipelines from within flowscript and get various results objects => assigned to Sylvain ;-)
SQLTransformer: duplicate namespace declaration when serializing XML => extremely old, I tried to reproduce it on Friday and did not get it
Persistent store or cache corruption? => For that one we might change the default store.
Upgrade all source files to ASF 2.0 license => That's of course a *must*.
HTML serialization has no space between publicId and systemId
=> Don't know about it, but it seems Xalan related - though you wrote it does not happen on command line.
