Now that the project has mostly caught up with Turbine development
and that we have a simple packaging system in form of WAR, I propose
that we release very soon a new "alpha" release to give new users 
simpler access to Jetspeed.

Due to the huge amount of reimplementation that have occured within
last month, I suggest that we follow Jon advice and use the 1.3a1
for this release denoting both the break from the 1.2b1 codebase and
the "alpha" nature of the product where some major APIs are going to
change in the near future.

What I'd like in this release that is not yet in the CVS is:
- the customizer
- the WAP support code

As soon as these 2 components are committed, I propose that we create 
a release branch for ironing all the possible bugs and clean-up the
documentation for the release.
The HEAD would stay open for new features to be incorporated, most notably
the profiler implementation of David.

If everything goes well and the missing code is committed today or
tomorrow, we should be able to release the new 1.3a1 sometimes next 
week.

In summary, let me know :
- if you agree that we should release a new alpha release ASAP.
- if there are some features that you deem necessary for an alpha release
  that are not yet there
- if you have some ideas on how to improve the base document set included
  in the webapp.

One of my ideas on the last topic:
Create an Apache OCS feed and make it available under the Jetspeed website,
configure the default Jetspeed distribution to use this feed, let all the
current Apache projects define their own RSS channel registered within the 
feed, so that Jetspeed can act as global multi-device "What's new" for 
the ASF.

I'm open to any other ideas for illustrating Jetspeed.
