RE: Jetspeed release schedule - ?

["Setera, Craig" <Cr...@Kingland.com>]

David,

How on track do you feel Jetspeed is to make "beta" by the end of April as
you originally suggested in this note?  Is it close?  

I've followed the large amount of changes that have gone on since 1.3a2.  We
would definitely benefit from these changes.  I have a couple of portlets
that I'm 99% sure will be broken by the changes, so I'm trying to figure out
when the "right" time will be to port them over. 

When do folks on the list foresee the changes slowing down to mostly bug
fixes?

Thanks,
Craig

Well I disagree.
We are in the middle of adding some much needed features such as portlet
instance ids and proper state manager.
I will be making additional features to the registry and psml over the
next week.
We also have quite a few bugs in Bugzilla. All the bugs should be fixed
before the next release, esp. the problems with the customizer and
Tomcat 4.03/JDK 1.4. 

Other refactoring work over the next week:
- PortletConfig
- PersistenceManager 

Some missing features that should go in, off the top of my head:

- full support for non-default PSML pages
	- customize those pages - needs to be a list of customizable
PSML pages 
	- admin should be able to customize anon page

- A Portlet StateManager based on PEIDs (there's an upcoming proposal on
this...)
	- Framework or guidelines for handling form post parameters with
portlets

Please feel free to add to this list...

I think we can do without a new security model for the next release. Its
just too much work and very hard to find agreement.

IMO  the next release should be beta, roughly in one month or so

It will slip, it always does.
Problem is that the release schedule for Jetspeed isn't anyone's main
release schedule.
We are working on other 'daytime' project schedules which take
precedence.

Im pretty much done with new features myself, but there should be
another state manager proposal coming along soon. Im hoping to start
fixing bugs by the end of this week, so then its just a matter of
cleaning it up to the point where we can agree that the release is beta
ready.
