  Hi,

 We've slipped badly for the 2.3M1 release (my fault for not monitoring it closely
enough). It was planned on the 8th of March and we're the 15th already (one week
delay).

 The other problem is that we don't have what we had imagined would go in 2.3M1 (color
theme improvement for ex). Right now there are lots of changes but nothing really
user-noticeable.

 So I'd suggest the following:
 * Delay by a few days in order to be able to include:
 - color theme improvement. Sergiu you need to tell us if that's doable and for when.
 - captcha on comments. Caleb, let us know if that's all done or if there's need
for more testing/development.

 Bonus:
 - Anca, will it be possible to have annotations released for 2.3M1 (ie now)? How much
more time would you need? 
 I'll close the vote for XWIKI-4775 asap, and commit it since it's due a long
 time now.
 I shouldn't need more than 2 days, but how would we want the annotations
 integrated in the platform?

 Right now they're built as an extension, with some jars to deploy on the server
 and a .xar to install the default annotations application. 
 I think we should:
 * have platform/xwiki-annotations and release it when we release the plaform
 * have applications/annotations and include it in the default XE XAR

 The rationale is that annotations is a powerful feature and I believe it's good to
have it by default for now (it would be too difficult to install it separately for now).

 When we have the extension manager implemented, we'll be able to trim down the size
of what the "core" platform and instead have the user be able to install
extensions when they start their wiki for the first time or when they go to the admin page
for this. But since we don't have this now I feel it's better to have annotations
packaged in the platform and in the default XAR than not have it.

 Here's my +1 to both (API in the platform and annotation XAR in default XE).

 Note: It would be great to have the ability to turn on/off the annotations feature for
2.3 final.

 Thanks
