In addition to this there were already several already tagged with a "fix version" of 2.1.2. I added all of these latter ones to the optional category. At the moment I think things are current in the wiki:http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxPMGT/geronimo-212-release-plan.htmlSeveral of the JIRAs that have been identified do not yet have an owner. We may need to discuss how critical these truly are for a 2.1.2 release.4175 seems like the only absolute *must-fix* in the list. Well, guess I'd want to better understand 4124 and 4099...Would be good to see the others fixed, but not a hard requirement, IMO.In addition to the JIRAs there have been several other items mentioned for 2.1.2: - Javamail? Currently there is an optional item to release and include a new version of javamail. Given the recent fixes I think it perhaps should be required. Are you working on a release Rick and if so, what is the ETA? I can pitch in to get a release out if you don't have the cycles.I agree.- CDDL xsds? David mentioned the possibility of using the cddl xsds rather than our xsds to generate xmlbeans classes. I'm not familiar with how much work is necessary here or if it is feasible in the short time-frame that we are considering for a 2.1.2 release. Any more feedback?Personally, I'd target this for 2.2. I definitely would like to see this, I'd just target it for our next full release.- Accessibility? There has been some discussion and work on accessibility improvements for the console. At this point in time, I think it makes sense to integrate some items before we lock things down. However, I don't think we should make this a requirement for the release and we'll need to stop the updates early enough so that we can validate there is no breakage before we create a release candidate (see proposed dates below). Comments?Agreed.Is there anything else that we're missing?Samples -- I'm tempted to say that I need to see a released/deployable samples for a 2.1.2 release.I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do with Samples regarding 2.1.2. We definitely need to get samples released. I also think it's still important to get versions of samples available that can be deployed on Geronimo 2.1 and 2.1.1. If we release samples for either or both of these releases then we can also release a compatibility plugin so that they can run in 2.1.2. We might want to even consider including the appropriate artifact-alias entries in the 2.1.2 server images directly with the 2.1.2 release (instead of a plugin) so that not only samples but other plugins created for 2.1 or 2.1.1 could run on 2.1.2 (such as Directory).
Agree that we should release the Samples before 2.1.2.Also like the idea of including the artifact-alias entries in 2.1.2, so we don't need the plugin.

I'd like to get a release candidate available within a few weeks if possible. Perhaps 7/21 is a good target locking down the content (code freeze). If we release javamail we might need a little more time than that. Does that sound reasonable to all? That would give us a shot at getting a release candidate available by 7/24 or so and if all goes perfectly a certified release and out the door by 7/31.Sounds ok to me. --kevan
