Hi devs,

I had already sent an email saying that we needed one more release (Beta 3)
as there were lots of bugs raised in Beta 1. Actually it seems we're going
to need also a Beta 4 as there are really too many issues in JIRA and not
enough committers and contributors working on them.

I'm thus proposing the following (I have modified JIRA accordingly: Renamed
RC1 in Beta 3, moved unassigned issues from Beta 3 to Beta 4, moved
unassigned issues from Beta 2 to Beta 3):

* 1.0 Beta 2: 8 Jan 2007
* 1.0 Beta 3: 22 Jan 2007
* 1.0 Beta 4: 19 Feb 2007
* 1.0 RC 1 : 5 Mar 2007
* 1.0 Final : 19 Mar 2007 (actually this is assuming RC1 is good enough in
which case we'll label it as 1.0)

The idea is to have releases every 2 weeks which is the best way to get
feedbacks from users and know in advance of any issues. It also gives us a
nice tempo to work with. I believe this is much better than increasing the
duration times for each release.

Of course if suddenly we get lot of help then we could possibly delivery 1.0
earlier ;-)

AFAICS there are 5 active committers currently working on 1.0:
* Sergiu
* Marta
* Ludovic
* Nam
* Vincent (me)

It would be real nice if we get contributions in form of patches from other
users and developers lurking here. Anything you can help fix in JIRA is a
great help. We have also a big need in term of documentation help. For
example we need to document all macros/plugins/etc in the Code Zone
(http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/). We have also other needs like a
skin authoring guide, a configuration guide, better tutorials, etc. This is
something anyone can easily contribute to.

I'll send another email on the Beta 2 status.

Let me know if there's any issue with the above.

Thanks
-Vincent
