I mostly wanted to second what Robin said below. Essentially, if anyone has a feature that barely missed the "freeze", they should get in touch with Robin to discuss it. If something is 90-95% complete, chances are we still have enough time to get it in (but again talk to Robin first). As Robin mentioned, he & I are working to shepherd in those features that barely missed the "freeze" but are very close to completion.
Turnaround is very quick on some of these features -- so, please take part in the discussion on JIRA for each of the features (mentioned by MarkD previously). If any others come up that need immediate & quick feedback, Robin or I will make everyone aware of them. We'll also be able to use our meeting tomorrow to discuss all of this, and try to finalize our dates for the 1.8.0 Testathon (so we can start to get the word out). I agree with everyone else that DS-881 (Maven 3) would also be good to discuss. If you have questions, comments or conce rns, let us know! - Tim On Tuesday, August 23, 2011 6:53:18 AM, Robin Taylor wrote: > Hi Mark, > > I'm generally in agreement.
