Subject: Re: Process and content for next release?
Basically, when it's done :-) Having said that, see below for the
estimates I would make for the separate stages. If they are anywhere
near accurate then I think we're looking towards the end of September
(which seems like a good time just before ApacheCon).
By publish, I mean having a stable but unreleased artifact in the
snapshot maven repo.

I think these are ready and we can publish a stable version now.

I am assuming the axiom, sdo and jaxb databindings sync with the
framework as we need something there to test it out.
I don't have a good feeling for how long it will take to get the
containers working.

Based on Jim's feedback I don't think we would be doing a Web-app
distribution; instead there would be a web-app maven plugin to
package a war with a suitably configured war inside it. See 7) for that.

Web-app maven plugin 9/4
