Following discussions on the weekly Woden calls, I have been looking at a possible release date for Woden M8. The M8 release will complete Woden's WSDL2 spec compliance (assertions and validation). The WSDL2 spec is in PR, Recommendation expected very soon.
Based on current resource availability I think I'll be providing most of the M8 development effort, hopefully with Graham Turrell doing the resolver JIRAs. We have a summer IT student starting at IBM next week to help on Apache Woden, so if he's up to speed quickly he may be able to contribute to Woden M8 too. The target date I am thinking of for M8 is around July 20th. I don't know if I can complete the release mgt by then, but I hope at least to complete most of the M8 development. I am out the last week of July, so the release might be postponed until 1st week August. The planned content for M8 is captured in Woden JIRAs flagged for M8. I've estimated around 25 days effort for the JIRAs assigned to me and I can probably do 80% of that by July 20th. Lawrence and I are also working on the last few action items in preparation for seeking to exit incubation. If this happens before the M8 release, that should shorten the M8 release management cycle. Please post comments, if any. Meantime I'll update the milestone plan on the Woden web site. regards, John Kaputin Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
