Hi Jeremy...

Not sure if sca/tools are to be a part of this list.  I don't see it

Please find my comments inline.

thanks

I'd to checkpoint on where we are for the release, get people's input
on what they are working on and try and pin down when we think we
will be in a position to start cutting binaries. I've summarized
below where I think we are, please fill in the gaps and add anything
that you think needs to be done (or that can be dropped). This is
based on the content mail from Aug 16.

Thanks

1) Specs
    SNAPSHOTs have been posted to the Apache repo.
    Q: are there any changes to SDO pending? Are we happy with the
version there?

2) SCA Kernel (core)
    ClassLoading changes: basic hierarchy in place, still need multi-
parent support - Q:is anyone doing this, do we need it?
    Integration of databinding framework: complete as an extension,
needs to migrate to kernel which means more tests are needed - Q: who
is doing this?
    Async callbacks: assuming this is complete
    Complex properties: DOM model for defaults but not values, still
need xpath support and to integrate with databinding framework - Q:
Venkat are you working on this?


Will work with Raymond on this.

   Transitive dependency support: first cut repo provided by Meeraj,
need to integrate with hosts, need to add support for using this in
<include> and <implementation.composite>


3) Baseline extensions
    idl.wsdl: supported with wsdlLocation, no support yet via
registry - Q: do we need this, if so is anyone working on it?
    binding.axis: sync is working, async in progress - Q: Ignacio are
you working on this, what's left?
                  need to update to a stable version - AXIOM 1.1 is
out, are we ready for Axis2 1.1? is anyone testing this?
    binding.celtix: Q - where are we?
    binding.rmi: is this working? complete?


Yes, this is working.  Will include some more testcases to ensure coverage.

   databinding.axiom: assuming this is complete
    databinding.sdo: is this complete? anything left to do on
TypeHelpers?
    databinding.jaxb: where are we?
    container.javascript: where are we?
    container.spring: where are we?


4) Optional extensions
    binding.jsonrpc - in or out?
    binding.osgi - in or out?
    databinding.xmlbeans - in or out?
    databinding.castor - in or out?
    container.groovy - in or out?
    any other bindings or containers to be in?


Will need Ant's perspective on including 'Ruby'.   A functional version of
it is already available in the SVN repository.

5) Host distributions
    Standalone - which extensions should be in?
    Web - do we still need this now we have the war plugin?
    WAR Plugin - do we need web.xml editing?

6) Sample applications
    Technology samples - do we have the right ones? are there any we
don't need?
                         what is the form for these in the release -
bundled as source, separate bundle?
    BigBank application - any progress? when will it be ready? do we
hold the release or post it later?




Other areas:
* SDO distribution - are we ready? where are we with samples, doco,
legal review?
* DAS distribution - are we ready? where are we with samples, doco,
legal review?
* SCA distribution - doco? legal?
* Website - are we generally happy with the site? is anyone planning
on working to update the site for M2 content?


Will look up the website and check for things to be done and the help in
getting that up.
