[seam-dev] The push to the finish line

[Shane Bryzak]

Hi team,

I'd just like to thank everyone for all the hard work that you've done 
to get Seam 3 to its CR1 release.  At this stage the plan is to release 
CR2 this coming weekend, mainly so that we can get Forge integrated into 
the bundled release.  This doesn't mean I expect everyone to have a CR2 
release prepared for their modules, so don't panic ;)

What I would like everyone to do though is to spend some time going over 
their module, checking the examples, making sure the documentation is 
free from any spelling or grammar errors, and reviewing any outstanding 
issues you may still have in JIRA.  If you think that your module looks 
complete enough in these areas, it might be time to consider releasing 
it as a final.  After the CR2 release goes out this weekend, I would 
really like to start wrapping everything up for the final release in the 
following 2 weeks, with a target date around the weekend of the 
19th/20th of March (though please don't announce this date to anyone 
just yet!).

Our QE team will still be busy testing CR1 this week, so if you *do* 
think your module is ready for a final release, please hold off until 
Monday next week to give them time to complete their testing and report 
any last minute issues found.  Once your module is ready for final 
release please let me know and I'll give it a quick review to make sure 
it all looks ok.

Thanks!
Shane
