MyFaces 2.0 development going forward

[Michael Concini]

Now that the JSF 2.0 spec is getting closer to completion, I think it 
would be a good idea for some more planning to go into the development 
process for the MyFaces 2.0 release going forward.  There are several 
aspects of this that need to be addressed. 

First, regarding the changes/additions to the JSF spec.  Is anyone 
keeping track somewhere of which changes have JIRA issues attached 
versus those that still need to have new issues created?   It is getting 
to be hard to determine what changes might still not have issues 
attached at this point as the number of JIRA issues associated with the 
2.0 spec approaches 200. 

Second, I think it would be very helpful to put together a more detailed 
road map of when we want to target specific changes and features. I 
think a good example of how we might want to do this is what 
OpenWebBeans is doing in their road map 
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/BrowseProject.jspa?id=12310844&subset=-1>.  
They've outlined exactly what is being planned for the upcoming 
milestone work. I know something like this would be very useful to my 
team at IBM in determining which work is best for us to take on in any 
milestone period. 

I also think it would be a good idea to come up with a more formal way 
of keeping track of who is working on which items.  As more folks become 
involved, its going to become more and more likely that we'll step on 
each other's toes. 

Does anyone have thoughts on any of the above?  I'd be glad to work with 
someone from the PMC to assist in any of the required planning. 

Thanks,
Mike Concini
