Re: [Springframework-developer] Release schedule

The schedule sounds good to me as well.

We should try to approach a 0.8 release ASAP, as the lack of a formal distribution definitely hinders Spring adopting. IMO we should aim at end of March.

Unfortunately, the lack of documentation is a major issue: Currently, a potential user should have both Rod's book and the framework sources. 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 further schedule will probably consist of 0.9 at end of April and 1.0 around June. Of course, the actual dates will be determined by Spring's quality and stability, not by a deadline. Nevertheless, I have the urge to proceed release-oriented.

IMHO, we are easily feature-complete for 0.8 now, as multipart request handling can also wait until 0.9. Beyond that, we should think about further must-haves for 1.0. 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".

What do you think?

Regards,
Juergen
