Heres my ideas integrated in what I see as level of importance. Note that I
haven't had a chance to look at latest build system changes yet ...

1.5 Get Manifests generated with all correct dependency and extension
information in them. Do this via ant tasks (Currently in progress)
1.6 Get the README.txt in excaliburs products auto-generated from gump
descripptor (or maven descriptor)
1.7 Add "library-query" ant tasks that will printout library and dependency
info from manifests. Helps us debug inter-project dependencies etc (In
progress)
1.8 create a build file in excalibur/tools/ that helps with creating
releases. Includes creating zips/gzs, HEADER/README.html, announcements,
signing (and possibly mailouts) etc also uploads to correct place and
increments build-number/version
1.9 Automate creation of changelog in better way than we currently are
(Currently we use old alexandria task with lots of bugs and then hand craft
the output which is a bit much work).

Move this "update-site" functionality into the
excalibur/tools/update-site.xml or similar and outside of actual products
build file.

Personally I think the phoenix/cornerstone projects should be on their own
versioning scheme much like LogKit is.

Naah - should use its own scheme

JFDI?
Dunnon - we should remove all crappy javadocs (ie the ones that just say
"method X") and then run checkstyle overcode base and fix all issues raised.
