A.) If it isn't a major refactoring, it probably stands that we can provide a feature in a later minor release, for example, "adding confidence intervals", extending distributions with discrete capabilities.
B.) Many tasks are "ongoing" and are never "really" finished, ie accuracy testing, checkstyle and javadoc.
C.) Many aspects of the project already out-perform even that which is in commons proper. Documentation and JUnit testing is fairly thorough.
So I wonder, would it be logical to request a vote from the community proper to consider that maturity of the math project and if its ready to release a version? There will always be discovered issues. But we do need to get to the point where we have actual users to discover those issues.

Here's a list of the tasks from the current task list:
1.) Develop user's guide following the package structure.
Provide any comments on this task here.2.) Performance and accuracy testing.
If anyone is interested in helping out here, what we could really use is a wider selection of test cases for the core numerical functions and validation against either other packages (e.g. R for the statistical stuff), verified datasets, or experiments comparing implement ions using floats to doubles.
3.) Test Coverage.
Clover tests show gaps in test path coverage. Get all tests to 100% coverage. Also improve test data and boundary conditions coverage.
4.) Code review.
Code review is a continuous process that all Contributors and Developers should practice while working on the code base.
* Javadoc generation is still throwing warnings. Bring the Javadoc into compliance (i.e. reach zero warnings).
* Verify that the code matches the documentation and identify obvious inefficiencies or numerical problems. All feedback/suggestions for improvement/patches are welcome.
* CheckStyle with modified properties still shows many errors. Try to clean these up.
Algorithm Development Tasks
5.) Add confidence intervals to Univariate implementations. Provide any comments on this task here. Distributions.
6.) Extend distribution framework to support discrete distributions and implement binomial and hypergeometric distributions.
Analysis.
* Framework and implementation strategie(s) for finding roots or real-valued functions of one (real) variable.
* Cubic spline interpolation.
* CheckStyle with modified properties still shows many errors.
7.) Finalize the contents of MathUtils and StatUtils. Suggest any additions -- ideally with patches -- to these utility classes.
