I have implemented most of the new core API's and fixed most of the
deprecated ones to be backwards compatible with 1.1 (if you look at the
1.2 javadocs you'll see what I mean).  If you look at the section in the
spec preface entitled "What's Changed Since the Last Release" you can
get a feel for what I did.  I've pretty much done everything in that
list.

Most of it is covered under this issue, which just says to implement
several sections of the spec:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1274

I believe all of 1274 is complete except
ApplicationImpl.getResourceBundle().  I needed code that reads the new
faces-context.xml for that one.  However, all the ELResolver stuff is
done including the ResourceBundleELResolver.

I've also done some of the issues listed under General Changes.  For
each item in that list, I created a Jira task.  You can look at Jira and
see which ones I did.

I was just getting started on the javax.faces.webapp package when I was
taken off of the project.  I probably won't commit any changes from
that.  I didn't touch the components or renderer at all.  With all the
backward-compatible code I wrote, it appears that all the components
still work even though they are written the "1.1 way".

So, hopefully, what you guys will have to start with is a JSF 1.2 impl
that is about half-way done and still works.
