I think we all have to agree we can not do a release with zero jiras.
When we do a release what we do is we go though the JIRA list and see
what are the issues we need to fix for the release and fix them. I know
some of the issues might be very critical for you but not for others.
However we as developer have to do a general judgment and choose what we
want to fix for a give release.

Please forgive me for that and one thing we have to understand is we
are doing open source development. No one pays for the developers so
most of the developers are doing voluntary works. So once they have free
time they will fix your issues. (If there are any JIRA issues against me
I will do that )

It is yes and no answer. When I talked to Axis2 users one of the
positive feedback I got is the level of support we have. I know it is
good if we can improve that some more , but I can not agree that user
does not get support from the mailing list. One of the thing I do every
day is going though the mailing list and answer them as much as I can.
Sometime I spend more than 2-3 hrs for that.
Not to market any companies, but I know few companies doing professional
support for Axis2 , so if you want to get the answer quickly that would
be a very good option. :)

please fix that and attach a patch to the jira. Then we will definitely
review that and apply.

Hi,
My apologies to all. With the high volume of Axis2 emails everyday, I
guess I didn't read each one carefully. I'll be more careful the next
time I reply to one:)

I think this should be the normal process for open source
projects (as
it already is for a few other Apache projects).
I also didn't see emails to the user group about an exact date
planned
for the 1.4 release. This would be nice so that the community
can plan
ahead in case people are waiting for certain bug fixes, and can
find
workarounds in case they know that 1.4 won't address their bug.
Overall, more communication about planned releases would be
nice:)
Other than that, keep up the good work!

Well I am not sure about the user list , but there was a discussion on
Axis2 dev lits. First one was initiated by me and second one by Dims. I
am sure that when I send the mail I CCed that to user list as well.

Well with the new release process we can not tell an exact data , what
we can tell is around this time we can do a release.

RE: [axis2] RE: [ANN] Apache Axis2 1.4 Released
Posted by "Vinh Nguyen (vinguye2)" <vi...@cisco.com>.
Hi,
What's very interesting to me is that I haven't seen any emails from the
Axis2 team notifying developers that 1.4 will be released, or even vote
for it to be released. This would have given developers/contributors a
chance to review the state of the latest build, check if there are any
critical bugs still outstanding, and then vote if everyone is fine with
the release.
I think this should be the normal process for open source projects (as
it already is for a few other Apache projects).
I also didn't see emails to the user group about an exact date planned
for the 1.4 release. This would be nice so that the community can plan
ahead in case people are waiting for certain bug fixes, and can find
workarounds in case they know that 1.4 won't address their bug.
Overall, more communication about planned releases would be nice:)
Other than that, keep up the good work!
-Vinh

I think we all have to agree we can not do a release with zero jiras.
When we do a release what we do is we go though the JIRA list and see
what are the issues we need to fix for the release and fix them. I know
some of the issues might be very critical for you but not for others.
However we as developer have to do a general judgment and choose what we
want to fix for a give release.

Yes I agree.

Please forgive me for that and one thing we have to understand is we
are doing open source development. No one pays for the developers so
most of the developers are doing voluntary works. So once they have free
time they will fix your issues. (If there are any JIRA issues against me
I will do that )

It is yes and no answer. When I talked to Axis2 users one of the
positive feedback I got is the level of support we have. I know it is
good if we can improve that some more , but I can not agree that user
does not get support from the mailing list. One of the thing I do every
day is going though the mailing list and answer them as much as I can.
Sometime I spend more than 2-3 hrs for that.
Not to market any companies, but I know few companies doing professional
support for Axis2 , so if you want to get the answer quickly that would
be a very good option. :)

In which level , I know we generate valid WSDL. But for some edge cases
we have issues which I am planing to fix soon.
These are just the basics, I don't even

May be you can help us to fix those issues , we as developers more than
welcome to see your contribution. If you know how to fix an issue ,
please fix that and attach a patch to the jira. Then we will definitely
review that and apply.
Thank you!
