Roadmap for 1.2?

[Brett Porter <br...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I took a look at JIRA and made a few updates. There's still a lot in  
there for 1.2, and also a bunch of stuff in 1.1.x. I also noticed that  
things tended to get pushed out a few times.

We have 1.1.x for things eligible to be fixed now and 1.x for things  
we've deliberately decided not to fix yet, then Future for things that  
are really nice to have.

The more I think about this, it seems a bit artificial. Really, 1.x ==  
1.1.x, but for features. And the features in Future are no less worthy  
than the features in 1.x.

So, I wanted to suggest the following:
* merge Future, 1.1.x and 1.x and call it 1.x. This can just be a list  
of stuff we believe to be valid and is eligible to be fixed now. If  
it's a minor fix, you can merge it to the currently active point  
release branch too.
* Keep the "next version" pretty trim - start with just a few things  
we really want to see done before release, then add things from 1.x  
that are important (use votes as a guide).
* While I'm not saying we should assign things, I think the "next  
release" should only contain things someone has consciously decided  
they could work on.

WDYT?

Aside from this, is the list of stuff for 1.2 correct or should we cut  
it back?

Cheers,
Brett

Thanks for the reminder about the thread... seems we had already  
decided and just not updated JIRA :)

MRM-84 might be good to keep in - and keep it truly simple based on  
the info we already know, but no objection to moving it out if nobody  
has time :)
MRM-811 is a good one to get fixed, but it's no higher priority than  
all the others in the 1.x list we should be looking at, so I agree

I agree on the rest.

Yes, I think we should.. There are still some things under 1.2 in jira that
were not included in the things we've decided to include for 1.2 in this
thread:
http://www.nabble.com/Archiva-1.2-roadmap-td18478669.html

I think we can move out these?
* MRM-803
* MRM-776
* MRM-812?
* MRM-84
* MRM-811
* MRM-783
* MRM-854
