I've started playing with a "mini-G" assembly (for lack of a better
term) which doesn't even include a web server. I'm also looking at
building plugins for tomcat, jetty, etc... The intent to use mini-G as
the base and plugins to build a tailor-made Geronimo assembly to fit a
user's requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all assemblies. IIUC,
this was part of the original intent behind the plugins so I think this
fits in pretty well with the general direction based upon discussions
I've seen.
At the moment what I have is pretty immature, but I was going to start
to get some discussion/ideas on this with dev shortly after I had gained
a better understanding of plugins in general by creating a first pass at
a tomcat plugin.

All,
Aaron started a thread back a ways about the 1.2 release. I know that
there has been discussion, interest and some action in getting it on the
table. At this point I'm not exactly sure what our goals are for the
next step of Geronimo and when it will be done.
First step is defining what goes into the release and then who wants to
guide the release to fruition. I'll start the what's in it thread and I
think the whose going to do it will get resolved once we finish this piece.
Given our past experience if we would like to hit another dot release
this year then I think we have to be releasing in November.
Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to burn up the last month and a half.
So I think a release around November 15th sounds about right.
This means (working backwards) we'd need to have a branch by October
15th. So, with that in mind we have a little less than 2 months for
development.
With that in mind here is the list of things I remember off the top of
my head. I'll follow this thread and put out a summary note. I'm
putting people's names next to items I remember them mentioning; I'm not
assigning work :)
Java 5 Ready
JPA Integration (Open JPA / Cayenne) (I think Dain or Blevins ?)
Clustering support (Gianny / Jeff)
Pluggable JACC (Jencks)
Performance (Matt)
Lot's of other stuff I'm missing ?
