It is pretty much good to go for an alpha release, as most of the functionality that was outlined in the original spec has been implemented, as well as some stuff that wasn't. Also there are docs and an example, although the docs are rather rough at the moment and are not going to win any literary awards. A major piece of functionality that is still missing is the ability for portable extensions to register their own custom namespace handlers. So if your module needs some extra configuration that can't be adequately expressed by wring up beans using xml it will be possible to register a custom namespace, and include whatever xml you need in the beans.xml file. I am planning on implementing this in the next few weeks, but I could move it up if anyone desperately needs it.

Seam module developers are now encouraged to officially start using it**. Hammer on it, let us know what things would make testing even easier and more effective. Pete also pushed out a release of the Weld extensions, which includes both a logger and a classpath resource loader [2]. The combination of these two releases removes most of the outstanding barriers to ramping up Seam module development [3]. The major outstanding item that remains is Stuart's XML bean configuration module, but that's pretty close to release as well (I'll let Stuart fill in details there). Let the games begin :) -Dan [1] http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Arquillian100Alpha1Released [2] http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/WeldExtensionsAlphaAvailable [3] http://seamframework.org/Documentation/Seam3Modules ** Keep in mind that the API may still change, but not likely in a way that would make it a challenge to update the tests.
