[xwiki-devs] Status of the release

Hello, To keep schedule we would need to have a release today and I am ready to release but we have some outstanding issues which need to be addressed. 1. An blocker was discovered today: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6654 Multiple backslash are not properly handled in reference resolvers tmortagne is assigned so he can report back when this is finished. 2. vmassol wanted to evaluate each test to make sure that all test failures were indeed test errors and not software bugs. Unfortunately this has been severely delayed because of: http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XE-928 broken tests because jmx control port is in use 3. sburjan discovered what seems to be a blocker in the watchlist functionality http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-6656 Unable to watch a page/space/wiki We need someone to confirm this and find out what's happening. For release I would like somebody to help me with publicity management, I will handle Wikipedia where I have an account and the announcement mail where I will use my signature but I would like somebody to help with Freshmeat, Wikimatrix, XWiki.org blog, and OW2 news. By spreading out the effort we can put a little bit more time into adding some quality to the writeup. Can I get a volunteer? Caleb
