...And here it is!

The parent issue for all Java EE 7 tasks is (for now) here:

   https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6553

You can and should feel free to add more subtask items as they come up 
or you become aware of them, but *please* make sure that each item you 
add relates to *concrete* work to be done (i.e. no amorphous tasks like 
"Make sure all tests are EE 7 compliant" or anything like that - every 
task needs to have a clear measurable action plan).  If possible, 
outline the steps that are expected to be taken right in the task 
description.

Note that the JIRA project is still AS7 - we know!  It'll be taken care 
of at some future date as soon as a few uninteresting issues are cleared up.

That said, if your tasks for EE 7 support are clear - feel free to jump 
right in and get moving on it ASAP.  If you assign an issue to yourself, 
please put in a brief comment summarizing your plan.

If there are design questions that need answering before you can moe 
forward then don't put it off - start those discussions now, because now 
is the time!
