Guys,

I hate to be the one to bring everybody back to reality after the release, but I would hate it to see improvements that were made over the last year slip again. Now I'm not talking about improvements in the engine which were for the outside mostly invisible. No, I'm talking about the much improved use of directly visible things like using the jira, wiki etc. Thomas did a great job in that regard. Deutsche Gründlichkeit is what we miss

Now, I'd love to take that upon me, but my free time is becomming limited again and I think it should belong to someone directly in the project. Why do I bring this up now?

http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13217 contains several things. The most important being

September 1st: jBPM-4.1

Milestone
Date
Jira Freeze July 22th
Code freeze August 18th
Release September 1st

July 22th being yesterday. So this means the issue list for 4.1 is frozen now since I assume everybody had these dates in mind. If that is not the case, I'd like you all to go over your issues and see if they can be fixed before august 18th. If not, assign them to the next release, so expectations on the outside are realistic!!!

In addition, I'd like this 'roadmap' page to be either kept up to date or for the most part just contain links to the jira. The way the details of features are mentioned there do not add anything to the fact that you can have these kinds of reports from Jira. e.g. by using labels if we do not want to have to many components. Going over issues that were reported lately against 4.0 is not wrong either, there might be some that can be fixed quickly and give a positive impression of the project.

So come on and do your housecleaning duties by obeying this order or next time you guys all drink Heineken a full evening here in Utrecht.
