I've created the branch which will be used to stabilise the jetspeed
1.3a1 release.

The branch is called 'release_1_3a1-branch'.

To work on this branch you need to do a fresh checkout of the 
jetspeed module and specify that you want the tag 'release_1_3a1-branch'.

For example: cvs checkout -r release_1_3a1-branch jetspeed

IMPORTANT: I currently don't seem to be able to check out this branch from 
the server which always sends me an assert error when I try. I notified
Jon and I hope he can resolve this issue quickly...

I propose the guidelines when committing to this branch:
- only commit code with low regression risk, ie code which does not impact
  many files and doesn't change any existing method class signatures.
- no new features should be added in this branch, all the commits should
  deal with:
  - fixing functional bugs
  - improving stability and/or performance
  - cleaning up source code
  - cleaning up documentation
  - improve documentation
  - remove dead documents/code

If you really feel you need to commit something that doesn't fit these
categories, please notify the list before in order to get explicit 
approval.

I propose that all mails related to the clean-up and release process 
sports a [1.3a1] tag.

I'll write a TODO list, send it to the mailing-list and commit it
in the branch root. Feel free to update it with your own TODO items
and update it regularly when tasks are completed or if you wish
to reserve a task for you. 

I'll try to maximize my online presence this week-end in order to
coordonate the release process, but keep in mind that I'm in Paris, so
I'm on a GMT+1 timezone, don't expect me to be available at 23:00 PST...
