Hi All,
I'll be happy to work on the *RELEASE-NOTES*, there are many things in common
with the documentation.
I need your input to build a thorough list with all the changes (major and minor) from the previous
release. We need a "Summary of changes" section in the release notes and that list will need to be
expanded in the 1.1 documentation to cover more in detail the impact of those changes in current
installation. The more complete and detailed the better.
As an example, here are some of the topics that should be covered in detail on
that list:
- Deployment plans
- Repository
- Geronimo plugins
- ...
Any help will be very much appreciated :)
Cheers!

We're nearing the end of the CTS cycle and will soon have a stable 1.1.
Once we reach this critical stage we need to move into the final stages
to release 1.1. Here is my proposed list.
*Starting now:*
1. Code freeze for 2006/04/18 23:59 PST (except bug and performance fixes)
*Once we've reached CTS stable:* (feel free to volunteer for tasks)
1. Begin changing packages to upgrade as appropriate (proposed list below)
2. Develop *Release Notes*
3. Draft a *Press Release*
4. Begin performance regression
5. SWAG a date Release Candidate
6. Test, Test, Test
*After 1.1 is stable:*
1. Formalize strategy for syncing 1.1 and HEAD
2. Define a set of release goals for 1.2 and propose a target date
I suggest that we define a theme for a release to help the group
focus on a set of goals
that will guide the work for the next release. This is not intended
to be a rigid
constraint but merely to provide some direction. It will also help
us define a target
release date to help us deliver on a consistent schedule for our users.
3. Solicit user feedback for prioritizing work
Listening to our users and providing them with the features they want.
4. Aggressively update our dependent package versions to new new levels.
Cheers,
Matt
