We should have a plan and release manager for the next major release.

Here are some ideas.
- Have a single, standard repository API. Noel, others have mentioned JNDI.
- Move all protocols including NNTP to use that repository API.
- IMAP Server support.
- Test Bed to check RFC compliance, performance and stability.
- Experimental MS Exchange Protocol Support.
- Move away from Avalon/Phoenix. There has been some talk on this topic. We
could keep the framework part and not use Phoenix if this is a sensible
goal.

I would rehprase the last point - istead of moving away from Phoenix, think about it as seperating execution from deployment cocerns. Phoneix is a cool application for handling complex component deployment. The key feature of seperation is being able to choose - and choice is liberty.

Cheers, Steve.



I think, we should first only collect all the possible things we could do
and then figure out what it takes to do it i.e. design changes etc.
It may also be a good idea to cap the expected time frame of next release. A
good time frame may be 6-9 months.
