Agreed, let's try and get a consensus on what we will have in our M1 build, and a date to shoot for it. I think we have a reasonable idea forming that it will be (taken from your list): - IA32/x86 with a minimum of P3 (SSE, not SSE2) - IA64/IPF (Intel 64-bit architecture) - x86_64/AMD64/EMT64 (AMD architecture) - (Windows 2000 SP4?), Windows XP SP2, Windows 2003, Windows 2003 R2, (Windows Vista?) - Linux; kernel v2.4.x, v2.6.x - (FreeBSD v???) I've put some in parentheses since we need to hear from people what work is required to get them ready and stable. I also removed the priority order since I think they are all equally important if we declare them stable. An M1 date of April 30th would give us a stable build ready for ApacheCon EU and JavaOne, which seems like a good goal. Working backwards we would then focus on stability for whatever we have got from April 23. I wonder if the Win2000 goal is possible in that timeframe? If not I suggest we live with WinXP as a minimum requirement for M1. Do we know what it takes to run on Vista/FreeBSD? Again I'm guessing non-trivial work remaining and we should drop it from M1 if so. Regards, Tim
