After discussing with Sergiu and Nam on IRC we think it's better to
increase B6's duration by one week in view of the number of remaining
issues.
That means:
- B6 released on 26 March
- RC1 on 9 April
- Final on 16 April or one week after (not decided yet)

Hi everyone,
Here's a status on the 1.0 roadmap:
* Beta 5 was supposed to be released last monday. I'll cut the
release tomorrow. So that's one week late... Good news is that we
have preliminary working support for page rename in it (it renames
backlinks)... (but no GUI for it yet) ;-)
* We still have 52 opened issues for 1.0...
* We were supposed to release RC1 next week but in view of this I
don't think it's reasonable to do so with so many issues.
* We've implemented more features and improvements than we had
planned for 1.0 which is one reason for being late (things like
Internationalization of xwiki apps, improvements to calendar, etc).
Other reason is that we're having regressions (due to our lack of
automated functional tests) and more bug created than anticipated I
believe.
* Out of the remaining 52 opened issues I've counted 33 issues
which are either improvements/new features or documentation tasks.
Thus in practice we have "only" something like 19 real issues.
That's more manageable.
Proposal
-----------
* I think we'll need another B6 that'll run from Monday onwards and
for 2 weeks, i.e. till the 19th of March. This means that RC1 would
be released only on the 2nd of April.
* Seen the extra delay I propose to vote RC1 as final one week
after the RC1 release instead of 2, i.e. release 1.0 final on the
9th of April (just one day after my birthday ;-)).
* We really need help from the community on the easy tasks,
especially on the documentation ones listed on http://
jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-586
* Committers try to focus on fixing bugs in the outstanding list:

* There are special 2 areas of focus I think:
- WYSIWYG editor: lots of people are using it or waiting for it to
stabilize. It's been getting much better but we need to run
thorough tests on it and squash the last remaining bugs
- PDF generation. We have lots of issues for it. I think we need to
have it working at least for exporting single pages. PDF export for
a full site would also be nice to have though (there's some code
that worked in the past but I don't think it's currently working
anymore)
WDYT about this proposal? Anything else to add? Any other proposal?
Thanks
