Re: [Springframework-developer] Release schedule

Sounds like a plan to me.  However, I lean more towards a 1.0 release in 
April and pushing new features to a 1.1 release.  For a sample app, 
could we use the one that came with the book?

I consider polishing JavaDoc comments and including generated JavaDoc a must, already for 0.8. Separate online documentation will be a must for 1.0, but not earlier, I guess. Any volunteers for either?

The Struts plugin comes to my mind, for example, and better test coverage and homogeneous code style. Beyond the framework itself, we will need example apps, and a nice little website with some sort of "project identity".
