I did want to thank the whole community, I have thanked the Day engineering team in an internal email. I honestly admit I wanted to let people know... being prod. manager for the product and all. I could have left out links to the release update blog, the interested would have found out anyway. Interesting question whether/under which condition would release announcements be considered spam. I'll ask that separately, I think announcements like this might be more interesting to users@ lists, if the community's ok with that. Cheers, Greg PS. Michael, I have to admit I have, post mortem, found your post re 'devs for fire'... nasty me ;) MfG, G.
CRX 1.4.1 released - powered by Apache Jackrabbit Sling - thanks!
Hi All, I'd like to thank the Apache Jackrabbit and Apache Sling communities for your contributions to the two excellent open-source products, which we at Day use as a basis for our commercially-supported Content Repository Extreme (CRX) product [1]! Please see the dev.day.com announcement of the CRX 1.4.1 release [2] for more information if you are interested. For one thing, we've got new licensing, including the free CRX Developer edition [3] for all non-production usage of CRX!

ETA for Sling release?
Hi Carsten I hate to do what makes me (as a product mgr) frown a lot... but what's the current ETA for Sling release? I'm aware of the license and notice files discussion [1] - somewhat painful, but better done before the release in any case. [1] http://markmail.org/message/2enw6ktxhc4ixmrk Some people really want it, now^H^H^H a.s.a.p. :) Cheers Greg -- -- Greg Klebus | http://day.com | http://dev.day.com -- Best open-source JCR repository: http://jacrkabbit.apache.org -- ** Day JCR Cup 08** | Win a MacBook Pro: http://dev.day.com

Good answer :) I'll adjust the notice files and the other stuff as discussed tomorrow. Hopefully others can help with the readme files. So we should have a version on monday or tuesday. Then we have to vote on this version in the Sling project - the vote has to be open for 72 hours. This means we should finish the vote by the end of next week. As Sling is in incubation, the incubator PMC has to vote after that as well - again for 72 hours; as it is not the best idea to hold a vote over the week, we might start the vote on friday/saturday but leave it open for 96 hours until tuesday/wednesday. Keeping the story short - the optimum would be to have the final version around the 25th of June. But if any problems are detected throughout the whole process, we have to restart it from the beginning! Which adds approx. 10 to 14 days each time! Thanks, that helps me a lot. Does that mean that the compiled release (*) will be available in maven repositories also around 25th June in the best case? So the best thing is that people help with getting it right the first time (well, it's the third time actually...) and help getting the readme's done, add docs, check the notice files after I change them and report potential problems before I will build the release candidate. Fair enough. Thanks for your hard work on this. Regards, Greg (*) I know Apache projects release source code, and the built binaries are just to help the users. This are indeed very helpful for us consumer of this technology.

Re: Sling Release
Hi Congrats to the whole Sling team on such a great job! On Fri, May 30, 2008 at 12:52 PM, Dominik Süß [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: About docs. I would prefer to have a nice documentation before releasing. Including: - Quickstart Tutorials - a few Sample Apps (with well documented code and functional description) - documentation of architecture (basic concepts) - documentation of maven usage - documentation of sling taglib (for jsp - as well as equal technical aspects for other resources) I think that's right on, that's what Sling needs right now a.s.a.p. I wouldn't, however, block the release of Sling because of lack of docu. Having a released (fixed, maintained) API is of highest priority for projects using sling. So release then follow up with docu is my proposal here.
