That Beta would have the basics working, but not be the final design of the MC/Deployer stuff, and the profile service would not have the management API defined and implemented. We will follow with a second Beta which will clean-up everything, incorporate any refactoring necessary, and add the management API for JBoss ON to the profile service.<BR><BR>Since then, there has been some additional discussion about can we release something by JBoss World, which as you know, is November 20th.<BR><BR>So here's the challenge. Release an AS 5 that has deployers on the new MC that work, has decent TCK coverage for EJB 3 and WS working, and has the JGroups/JBoss Cache releases integrated, all from HEAD by November 20th.<BR><BR>Let's accept this challenge, and if you guys can pull it off, I'll find a way to reward each of you for the effort.<BR><BR>Thanks.<BR><BR> <TABLE cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <TBODY><TR><TD>Andrig (Andy) Miller<BR>VP, Engineering<BR>JBoss, a division of Red Hat </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></BLOCKQUOTE><BR><PRE class="moz-signature" cols="60">--
