I originally preferred the former idea, however after thinking about it for a while I've changed my mind.  I think the release versions and project roadmap is just going to be too hard to coordinate for a bunch of independent modules with their own release cycles.  With that in mind, if no-one has any objections I'll start arranging the creation of new JIRA projects for our modules, starting with the modules that are first out the door (remoting and xml).  What does everyone think of a naming scheme of SEAM-REMOTING, SEAM-XML, etc?  (The JB prefix I removed on purpose).
