Can we hit 1.0 by December 10th?

[Matt Hogstrom]

With Apachecon coming up on December 10th I think it is a unique opportunity to 
take Geronimo to its 1.0 debut.  I know there are lots of cool things in the 
pipeline but if I remember correctly I think most of what we were looking for 
was usability, stability, the Console and performance.  Effectively stabilizing 
the product and then moving on to more aggressive changes for 1.x to 2.0.

I don't know about other people's time commitments but I've started performance 
testing and have an initial set of numbers against JBoss 
<parentheticalidea>(bear in mind I know little about JBoss so I'm not confident 
in some of the numbers).  I will commit to getting out an initial deck to you 
guys over the weekend.  I want to recheck some numbers</parentheticalidea>  I'm 
going to focus on finalizing the performance application and improving 
performance and runtime stability.

I'd like to solicit people's thought's on putting a stake in the ground for 1.0 
by Apachecon.  Also, start providing your must have's for 1.0 so we can come to 
consensus.

Cheers
