Has there been any more discussion about releasing from the 1.0 branch?
There is one unresolved issue with a fix version of 1.0.0-rc1:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-776
and one with a fix version of 1.0.x-incubating:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-560
Neither of those have seen much activity recently.
There are other open issues with no target fix version that should
perhaps be considered for the branch (e.g., http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-803)
, and others that have been fixed on trunk already that should
probably be merged to the branch if possible (e.g., https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SHINDIG-907)
but I haven't gone through the issues exhaustively.
Are the committers still interested in making a 1.0 release? What's
preventing that from happening right now, and what's the best way that
we non-committers can help progress this?

Hi everybody,
We've sort of waffled on release for a while now, and I'd like to
get the
ball rolling again. Things seem pretty stable right now, but if we
don't
move to get a release the spec process is going to make releasing
soon very
difficult.
So lets lock down and get released.
We're pretty much fully 0.8.1 compliant (barring a few minor
issues). We
have some of the 0.9 stuff already implemented, but we should not
consider
that "advertised" yet until it's really finalized and developers start
expecting it.
So, where do we stand? Can everyone agree on a branch and release
two weeks
from now?
I'd like this to be the "1.0" release, with the next release including
support for opensocial 0.9. I don't feel that it's a good idea to
align our
versions with the specifications versions, but we should include
something
in our version string or release notes that makes compatibility
obvious.
Shindig will be 1 year old on December 12th (well, it's technically
a few
weeks older than that but that's the oldest commit I can find in SVN).
Surely we can get a release out before then!
