Jetspeed 2.1.3 release end game

Dear community,

Since September I myself as well a some other committers have hinted at an imminent release of Jetspeed 2.1.3, shooting for end of October the latest.
Well, we're now into November already and we're still not ready yet  :(

I really, really, would have liked to have the 2.1.3 release available at the ApacheCon US in Atlanta next week but that isn't realistic anymore either.

I think we MUST constrain ourselves to make this release happen ASAP.

The development of the new Jetspeed 2.2 in the trunk has already been severely delayed because of our work on the 2.1.3 branch, and keeping these two trees in 
sync also is taking too much valuable time away.

We really need to continue and finish the new Maven 2 build in the trunk and provide proper migration paths for the current Maven 1 and the "old" Maven 2 build 
environment users of the 2.1.3 version. Only AFTER that we should continue working on new features in my opinion.

If anyone feels different about this please speak up, but my intention is to vote down ANY further new feature development for the 2.1.3 branch from now on and 
schedule all new feature requests to the 2.2 release or even thereafter if need be.

My goal for the 2.1.3 end game is getting it ready for release in the first week of December the latest.
We can use all the help from both the active and not so active committers and from all the active users too: testing, code and documentation patches, etc.

So I'm calling out to the whole of our community: please help out to make this happen, and if you have an important feature/enhancement request, realize that by 
planning this for *after* the 2.1.3 release you will help too!

Blocking or serious bugs of course will have to be addressed for 2.1.3, but minor bugs or issues for which acceptable workarounds exists probably will have to 
be postponed to 2.2 as well.

Regards,

Ate

Well NO.
It isn't my intention to point fingers here at all, we're all working on new features.
I myself do have a new feature locally mostly ready for better Wicket integration which I definitely need to complete/commit for the 2.1.3 release because 
otherwise we'll miss the time window of the also imminent Wicket 1.3.0 release.
My work for the Wicket portlet support has just as much kept me from working on the release of 2.1.3 as anything else too.

That, above anything else, is the most important task and goal for the next 2.2 release.
Getting there ASAP is my highest priority and I think should be for everyone involved.

Definitely.
Who's coming too?
I'll be at the ApacheCon all week and invite anyone willing to discuss this, and for other things too of course (Beer anyone?) to look me up.
I'll probably hang out in the "Hackaton" corner most of the time or just send me an email to meet up!

And don't forget: we have a great Portals track on Friday 16th:

    9:00 am: JSR-286: Portlet Specification 2.0 for Portal and Portlet Developers, presented by myself
   10:00 am: The Apache Portals Panel, presented by Carsten Ziegler and with David Taylor, David DeWolf (Pluto) and myself on the panel
   11:00 am: Building your own portal with Apache Jetspeed-2 Enterprise Portal 2, presented by David Taylor and myself

I hope to see and meet many of you there  :)

This is my fault, I keep saying yes to new features. Its just a  
release, and we can always get in new features later.
Its more important to take care of the health of the project and  
clean up the build situation
I suggest that if you have started on a feature, and its self- 
contained and small enough, finish it
Then lets try to lock down, give it week or so of testing, and  
release 2.1.3
During this lock down period I see no reason why we cannot start  
development on the 2.2 build refactoring
In fact that would be a great thing to discuss at ApacheCon

Dear committers.

Thanks alot for the great work so far!

I am looking forward for the 2.1.3 release. Especially the stability
issues under heavy load that have been fixed are very important to us.
>From the still open issues that I would like to see resolved in the
2.1.3 release, the high memory consumption issues are most important to us.

Best regards,
Joachim

The longer the better for us. We hope to be doing some serious testing
on the release candidate. The longer we have to work on it (and you have
to fix any issues) will give us a better more stable release better
performing release. Which means that when it is released you'll be able
to concentrate fully on 2.2 and not be thinking of 2.1.4 release. ;)

Subject: Jetspeed 2.1.3 release end game 

Dear community,

Since September I myself as well a some other committers have hinted at
an imminent release of Jetspeed 2.1.3, shooting for end of October the
latest.
Well, we're now into November already and we're still not ready yet  :(

I really, really, would have liked to have the 2.1.3 release available
at the ApacheCon US in Atlanta next week but that isn't realistic
anymore either.

I think we MUST constrain ourselves to make this release happen ASAP.

The development of the new Jetspeed 2.2 in the trunk has already been
severely delayed because of our work on the 2.1.3 branch, and keeping
these two trees in sync also is taking too much valuable time away.

We really need to continue and finish the new Maven 2 build in the trunk
and provide proper migration paths for the current Maven 1 and the "old"
Maven 2 build environment users of the 2.1.3 version. Only AFTER that we
should continue working on new features in my opinion.

If anyone feels different about this please speak up, but my intention
is to vote down ANY further new feature development for the 2.1.3 branch
from now on and schedule all new feature requests to the 2.2 release or
even thereafter if need be.

My goal for the 2.1.3 end game is getting it ready for release in the
first week of December the latest.
We can use all the help from both the active and not so active
committers and from all the active users too: testing, code and
documentation patches, etc.

So I'm calling out to the whole of our community: please help out to
make this happen, and if you have an important feature/enhancement
request, realize that by planning this for *after* the 2.1.3 release you
will help too!

Blocking or serious bugs of course will have to be addressed for 2.1.3,
but minor bugs or issues for which acceptable workarounds exists
probably will have to be postponed to 2.2 as well.

Regards,

Ate
