As far as I'm concerned, the feature work I wanted to see for a 1.0.0release is complete -- it's primarily a matter of being in-country long enough to go through the release process. I've also got some back-of-the-envelope roadmap notes that I need to put up on the wiki talking about future feature directions. As far as releases themselves go, the thinking is to use the same release model that Struts 1.x (and other projects like Tomcat) do ... an x.y.zrelease that is not pre-graded with a quality moniker (alpha, beta, general release), followed by a chance to get feedback and retroactively vote (on the dev list) on a grade. That being said, I would *not* assume 1.0.0 would be anything other than an alpha. This is not necessarily an issue about quality, it's more about API stability. I don't want to lock down quite everything yet, until people have had a chance to try things out. That being said, one habit I want to follow in Shale is provide feedback to developers on what expectations they *should* have about API stability in individual packages. This information is summarized in the Package Overview page for the core library: http://people.apache.org/~craigmcc/shale-core-javadocs/overview-summary.html Along with an indication of whether the functionality in that package is targeted at application developers, or at people who want to extend the framework itself.
