Attached is a draft of the 2.1.1 release plan. I cribbed the formatting
from Struts, hope they don't mind.

<p>The objective of the

issues will be addressed
in addition to issues that are yet to be
discovered by the user
community. This plan will be updated as these
issues are discovered.<br>

<td><blockquote>
<p>A number of new features
have been added to James in the 2.1 release, including...(TODO:
what's
new in James 2.1?)</p>
<p>No new Features will be added to James.</p>
<p>Testing effort will be focused on testing the new features in James,
regressing
previously-closed bugs, and expanding the client and server
configuration
test coverage as much as possible. The following test plan
(TODO:
write a test plan :) )</p>
<p>Reported bugs must be
CLOSED by someone other than the person fixing the bug,
preferrably the
person that filed the bug. All bugs that are to
be resolved WORKSFORME,
WONTFIX, and LATER must be resolved as
such by someone other than the
person initially assigned to the
bug.</p>
<p>Coding effort
will be focused on driving the bug count to the release criteria
bug
profile and maintaining this profile for 30 days. All changes
to the
code base must be traced to a bug number.</p>
<p>Therefore, the following
release plan is proposed for James 2.1.1: <br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Code Freeze / Tag Date</em> - TBD</li>
<li><em>Release
Manager</em> - TBD</li>
<li><em>Release Announcement</em> - To the
following mailing lists:
<ul>
<li>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
<li>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
<li>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</li>
