Things to do for 1.2beta release

[Jim Jagielski <ji...@jaguNET.com>]

Bug Fixes:
  There are 2 types. Those reported in 1.1.1 (We need to make sure
  they are squashed in 1.2) and those new in 1.2. For the new ones,
  we should generate... wait for it... a list of bugs. That way we
  can all be aware of what we're working on. 1.1.1 bugs can be
  gleamed from www.apacheweek.com (or is that .org?)

Features:
  I think it's time for a Feature Freeze (tm) for 1.2... Votes?

Docs:
  We need to give thought on how to best move the docs into the CVS
  tree. Initial thought: htdocs directory with 'generic' subdirectory
  (for general guides and rules) and 1.1.1, 1.2, etc.. subdirs for
  each version specific stuff. Maybe even something as simple as:

      ./htdocs
      ./htdocs/generic
      ./htdocs/previous    (for previous versions)
      ./htdocs/present

  and have the filenames themselves have some sort of indexing
  on Apache version, like mod_status-v.1.1.1.html

Timeline:
  Who knows... but "soon" :-)

I'm totally in favor of having the documentation in the Apache
distribution.  In fact, we already do this with our distributions.

But I don't think there's any reason to include docs for old versions
in the distribution.  It might be nice to have these docs available
online somewhere.  And it would certainly be good to have a file
describing (in detail) the changes from the previous version
(actually, many such files, one for each version change, for people
upgrading from an ancient version).
