Wow, another four months have flown by since last time that we tried to narrow down the list of issues.
All developers can assist with this, don't leave it to the committers. If you want to see the 0.8 release then please help. We are down from 37 to 26 issues for filter "FOR-roadmap-dev". http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12310820 The main reason for the reduction is that last time we decided to delay some issues. A little progress has also been made with some other things. I have added some comments below to explain the status of each. When it is the same as last time, then i tried to summarise previous comments. I have tried to identify some that can be moved over to 0.9-dev. Many issues seem to be the same as last time, even though they only require some simple documentation. Please help. ------------------------ FOR-855 verify the license situation prior to each release http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-855 Because we let the release slip past the cut-off date 1 November, we now need to fully meet the new policy.

We had delayed this, but i reckon that it is worth trying. ------------------------
