I've started a draft 2.0 release notes at:
http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANYxDOCx2x/2.0+Release+Notes

I'll start creating some JIRAs for items on that, feel free to help.

Sorry for being late to comment, but I agree this is a very good way to 
go about it. I like the idea of starting with the high level themes and 
features, and creating Jira from that, and driving and tracking work via 
the Jiras. I've added a few minor edits to the wiki release notes, and 
I'll help out on this effort.
