1.0 Beta 6 & 1.0 Status as of 26 March 2007

Hi, The 1.0 Beta 6 release is supposed to be delivered today but that's going to be hard. There are still 51 issues open for it... I think we really need to release the rename feature with the UI for B6 and I would suggest we postpone it by a few days to include this. Sergiu can you let us know when you'll have the UI finished? On my side, I've discovered a few issues with the backend implementation that I'll fix today and tomorrow. Would it be possible to release B6 on Wednesday? This also means that we'll never be able to fix the 51 issues for Wednesday. I've done a sorting of the opened issues scheduled for 1.0 (B6 included): Important ======== - Rename issues (21, 1022, 1014, 935) - 1011 - WYSIWYG (954, 775, 418) - 726 ?? - 651 - 464 - 216 (?) - 138 (?) Less important ============ - 1005 - 1000 - 965, 947, 757, 517 (Lucene plugin issues) - 936 - 934 - 932 - 872 - 860 - 786 - 754 - 729 - 704 - 695 (?) - 665 - 646 (?) - 615 - 605 - 593 - 592 - 590 - 589 - 587 (almost done) - 524 - 448 - 432 - 351 (?) - PDF: 257, 237, 185 - 181 - 114 - 110 - 56 - 55 Documentation ============ - 982 - 1009 - 770 - 771 - 772 - 720 - 721 - 722 - 717 - 718 - 627 - 586 The question marks means I'm not sure about the severity of the issue. Note that this sorting is done based on how critical it is to XWiki Core and for 1.0. It's not based on any issue requirements for a specific project using XWiki, etc. It means that IMO this is what we need to fix at the minimum to release XWiki 1.0. Please also note that we need to do a pass of the other opened issues that do not have a "fix for" set in JIRA (there are 187 of them). I'll try to do this later today. Thus if we look at the issues above, we see that there are "only" 13 "important" ones for 1.0. We can probably kill 7 till Wednesday, which means it'll remain 6 issues for RC1 (+ possibly the other very important ones we'll find by reviewing the issues that have no "fix for" yet). Thus I think that after we release B6 (possibly on Wednesday) we should move the remaining issues in RC1 and not do a new B7. Once we start RC we shouldn't put any new feature but rather commit any new features on the trunk only. WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
