Hi,
First of all, I would thank everyone for the great work which has been
done here ! It is really a pleasure using Felix.
Second, I would very much welcome a release, of course. IMHO it needs
not be a 1.0 release, but it might enhance visibility of the product
in the community.
+ 1 to cut a release (nonbinding)
+ 1 to include bundlerepository with the release (nonbinding)
Regards
Felix
I think all of the above subprojects are ready to go as is with respect
to their functionality. The following is a list of some loose ends that
need to be tied up:
* Fix all headers to meet the requirements defined in
http://www.apache.org/legal/src-headers.html.
* Create an appropriate LICENSE file.
* Create an appropriate NOTICE file.
* Determine how the OSGi interface source and classes must be handled.
* Determine version numbers for subprojects, especially those that
will be released along with the framework.
* If we release bundle repository as part of the framework install,
then determine what we will do for the repository.
We can also debate whether or not this is an actual release or a dry
run, but I don't see much point in that. If we get all of this stuff
done, then it will effectively be a real release, so no dry run is
really necessary. We can still label it as a "release candidate" or
whatever we want, but I would argue for making it publicly available
since we have to figure out how we are going to do that too and we can
possibly get feedback on the release...once we graduate we can just
change its label to "final" or we may actually get some feedback on
issues that we can resolve for the official release after graduation if
we make the release public now.
Comments on the above and on things that I am forgetting are welcome.

p.s. I have created JIRA issues for the above and have attached them to
version 0.8.0.
