As an experiment I looked down the first page of the outstanding bug list
[1] allocating to release 1.1 those bugs that I believed should be fixed. I
was looking for the sort of thing which showed a failure of some feature of
Tuscany, didn't obviously have a work round and that wasn't obviously some
kind of enhancement from what we have already. Difficult to apply this
consistently and I'm sure we would all come up with different lists. Non the
less I came up with 9 JIRA on the page of 50 (I moved some others as I'm
trying to address as many of the release build related bugs as I can. I'm
not counting them for this purpose). Just be multiplying that up for the
remaining pages that gives us over 30 must fixes before 1.1.  So if you are
planning to work on the release during the rest of the year please use this
as a guide.

In reality I know we won't get these all done but we need to ensure 1.1. is
of suitable quality. Perhaps a more realistic way of looking at this is if
we we had to do 2 each before we start voting on a release candidate in
January which two would they be? I'm working my way though the (hopefully)
straightforward release related JIRA but I expect the RC process will raise
more of these so experience tells us we will have these to deal with also.

Any thoughts about how we approach this?

Regards

Simon
