[jdf-dev] Rebuilt roadmap

[Pete Muir]

All,

As your probably aware, one of our goals with jdf is to help people understand both the JBoss upstream projects (such as JBoss AS) and the Red Hat products (such as JBoss Enterprise Application Platform), as they are extremely similar :-)

With this in mind, we've got a fairly strict rule, that we can't add something to the jdf roadmap, unless it's also available in a product "soon after" the jdf release (i.e. we can develop stuff in parallel in jdf, but we shouldn't leap ahead).

As we risk heading into a timing nightmare with this, I feel it is simplest that we align the jdf release timeline to the Red Hat product which we most closely track (in terms of underlying features). This is, obviously, is WFK, where Errai and RichFaces are packaged, and DeltaSpike probably will be.

With this in mind, here is the new proposal for the roadmap:

Note that this covers headline features, and there may well be other stuff that makes it in as well, if there is time.

We'll also aim to do some milestone releases:

10th August: M1
17th August: M2
24th August: M3
31st August: M4
7th Sept: M5
14th Sept: M6

with a release candidate on 21st Sept.

Marius is working on the Ticket Monster use cases for this release, and should have those ready today or early next week.

Please review the above info and let me know what you think,
