My suggestion for implementing a roadmap would be to define versions in Jira and start assigning issues to them. That way we can use the "roadmap" feature of Jira to track progress: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel So our first release would be 0.8.0 (for example), and we can start assigning issues to it. > Feel free to complete it. In general I feel we should try to cut our first release relatively soon, and try to get into a rhythm. Therefore in general I think we should look at what's fairly stable now and start with that. Another question I have is what we should release. ACE is very modular, and can be assembled and configured in different ways. On the other hand, a lot of bundles are related. In short I don't think it makes a lot of sense releasing bundles one by one. I would be in favor of a single release of all (stable) bundles. Also, I would like to take the first release as an opportunity to properly baseline all bundle and package versions, use a version policy that conforms to the one the OSGi Alliance recommends and only bump versions when things actually change. That means that our next release will probably contain bundles and packages that will not all be the same. This is very similar to the OSGi specification itself, that is released as for example 4.2 but contains packages with versions like 1.3, 1.2, 2.1, etc. > @Angelo, I know that you're working hard on unit tests, etc. Feel free to > append comments concerning next steps around this topic. It's mainly integration tests that still need porting, as described in: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-79 From the looks of it, Angelo has already made great progress here! Some help from a Maven expert would be nice so we can properly hook up the tests. Greetings, Marcel
