The only thing I care about is preparing to be able to do the
releases. The list of prerequisites for making sure we can really
support the changes we're about to push out. Cleaning up patch
submission, making integration testing easier, and doing some
organization so that we aren't overly burdened by not being prepared.
Once those things are done we can start releasing and converge on the
improvements and feature set for 2.1 final.

When this is done I say we go for it:
http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?
reset=true&mode=hide&sorter/order=DESC&sorter/
field=priority&resolution=-1&pid=10332&fixfor=13535
most of these issues are assigned to you and John, are you going to be
able to do them? in what timeframe? or should they be unassigned?

No good. I've known too many Spaniards.
