Just looking back over the list - where are we too with the current Record implementation? I want to factor out some localization functionality into a ProtoTranslation style system, but for Record rather than mapper; i'm not sure Record is sufficiently mature however? Cheers, Tim

My resources are pretty limited, but I'd love to at least contribute what I can to the OSGi support. I'd love to see a plugin system for lift apps that's sensible! Speaking of which, perhaps a plugin system that's sensible should be part of the list? I know grails does some neat stuff there

I propose we migrate to Joda Time for 1.1. In particular, I propose that Record ditch Java Date/Time entirely in favor of Joda Time. Since migrating from Mapper to Record will involve a port anyway, what's one more breaking change among friends? Lift's other uses of Date/Time should be
