Following the guide there are many todo items, I will try to find a place
to track the to-do items, I will start from the technical ones.
I can help if there is anything that can be easily delegated.
So what's our target date? how about one month later? Maybe some day around
12/20?
I'd like to commit the bugfixes that I already attached as patches to
JIRA. So for me a code freeze at the beginning of december would be ok.

Hi Rob,
I think that a new release is needed for users of ODF toolkit. I would
like to be a volunteer for the Release.
Because I didn't know much about the release process, can you guide me on
this?
Our second release should be much easier than the first one.
Devin wrote up some instructions here:
http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html
As you can see, it is a mix of activities. Some are technical, some
are process, like the voting steps.
I'll try to help as well.
I'd be interested in knowing what Florian and Svante think. Can we
aim for a date?

Our last release was in January. Does anyone want to have another
release, say at the end of the year?
We have a lot of bug fixes, and some new features, especially in the
Simple API.
Nothing stunning, but that is the nature of the project. Our
functionality is boxed in by the ODF schema. We evolve by perfecting
the code, improving performance, improving documentation, etc. But
our next "leap forward" might not come until ODF 1.3 is done.
If we want to do a release we want need to agree on "feature freeze"
deadline, a stabilization period for testing and updating release
notes, etc. And we would also need a volunteer to be Release Manager.
What do you think?
-Rob
