Subject: 1.2 Release - Who's next and what is it?

All,

Aaron started a thread back a ways about the 1.2 release.  I know that there has been discussion, 
interest and some action in getting it on the table.  At this point I'm not exactly sure what our 
goals are for the next step of Geronimo and when it will be done.

First step is defining what goes into the release and then who wants to guide the release to 
fruition.  I'll start the what's in it thread and I think the whose going to do it will get resolved 
once we finish this piece.

Given our past experience if we would like to hit another dot release this year then I think we have 
to be releasing in November.  Thanksgiving and Christmas seem to burn up the last month and a half. 
  So I think a release around November 15th sounds about right.

This means (working backwards) we'd need to have a branch by October 15th.  So, with that in mind we 
have a little less than 2 months for development.

With that in mind here is the list of things I remember off the top of my head.  I'll follow this 
thread and put out a summary note.  I'm putting people's names next to items I remember them 
mentioning; I'm not assigning work :)

Java 5 Ready
JPA Integration (Open JPA / Cayenne) (I think Dain or Blevins ?)
Clustering support (Gianny / Jeff)
Pluggable JACC (Jencks)
Performance (Matt)

Lot's of other stuff I'm missing ?
