Reading this, I think we're danger of being a little over-optimistic for M5 scope.
I'd be keen to take a more considered approach to scoping M5, with estimates (very much ballpark) on the existing JIRAs we're looking at implementing. On the Java broker side, we need to focus on robustness and reliability (defects) as much as new features. The build window for a March release is around 55 days (allowing for some testing time). Not a huge amount, given utilisation etc. Might be good to get people to start bagging the JIRAs they plan to work on in M5 and see what we have from there. This would give us a tangible basis for a plan. And it'd be nice to have one of those (loose & JIRA based) to make the release easier to close out. If the features on the page for M5 are more, shall we say, aspirational - let's use them as a roadmap for 2009. Just my tuppence. I'll be assigning JIRAs out across my friends & colleagues when we have agreed what we're doing locally. That should help a bit.
