M3 sounds better to me than Beta-1.
I also like the idea of release early release, let's keep up the drum beat from
the prev milestones releasing once a month.
Cheers!

We're getting to the end of February so its time to discuss what will
drop and what we call it. On the original set of goals this next drop
would be beta-1 but based on recent e-mail discussions as well as IRC
and some experimentation I think the soup needs a few more items before
we turn the flame to simmer. That said, I think that translates the
February drop to be M3 rather than beta-1.
We've improved deployment, made a lot of plumbing changes, etc so I'll
solicit people's input for the highlights of this next Milestone (and if
we al concur this is the right designation). If we're all tracking on
this then I'd plan to follow the previous plan of branching at around
1700 next Wednesday (ET) of course not disrupting trunk and the progress
that is being made. This would mean that we are settling into a monthly
release in tune with release early and often (even if its not soup yet ;-)
BEA recently announced that they have a developer release of WebLogic
that has passed CTS so we're not alone out there in the world. I have
to admit it feels pretty good to be on the forming wave rather than
paddling to catch one that has already left.
As far as assemblies are concerned I recommend using the same assemblies
we did for last month as I don't think Axis or Cayenne are really
integrated enough yet for people to try out. correct me if my
understanding is not correct.
Comments, and feedback welcome.
Thanks
Matt
