Matt,
This is good. However, I think it's useful to think in terms of a
1.1.x release stream, or at least two 1.1.x releases. Where 1.1.1 is
going to address our worst/highest priority problems. 1.1.x should be
very soon (a few weeks?) after 1.1. This would be followed by a 1.1.2
which I think would be the target for the majority of the bug fixes
and performance improvements that you're proposing. Thoughts?

Here is my proposal for defining the exit criteria for this release
stream. I would like to volunteer to lead the 1.1.1 release.
Please respond if that is acceptable to you.
*Goals*
This is a maintenance release and as such it will be limited to:
*1. Bug fixes.*
There are approximately 50 JIRAs currently identified for 1.1.1.
These are fixing issues related to deployment, runtime, etc.
*2. Usability improvements.*
These will be limited in scope to correcting user interfaces
issues, error messages, etc.
*3. Performance improvements.*
Examining performance using DayTrader and improving existing
function as well as discussing some limited functional improvements
that are missing. These changes will not break applications
deployed on 1.1. Applications from 1.1 will be able to move
forward without modification.
*Timeframe*
This is not time limited release. We will agree on the JIRA list
and will focus on closing the JIRAs that are agreed to for the
release. Once those JIRAs are complete (or we decided to move one
or more out of the release for whatever reason) the project will be
versioned and released.
*JIRA*
As noted earlier, JIRA will be used to manage the release. I
proposed that the JIRA's that are accepted into the 1.1 release are
marked to unassigned. If someone is interested in working on the
JIRA they'll simply assign it to themselves. This way anyone that
wants to participate can easily identify what areas need more work.
*Next Steps*
Please review the JIRA's that are in 1.1. If there are fixes that
should be included please propose them for inclusion. Once we have
a set of work items then we can get 1.1.1 done.
Comments or corrections to the above proposal welcome.
Matt
