Hello PMC Members, The Muse team is hard at work making web site and documentation updates for the current build, with a release planned for Friday, the 22nd[1]. I wanted to take this opportunity to pause and send an update to the entire PMC team and see if anyone had any questions about the state of the project. I put a quick update in the September Board Report, but I know everyone is busy and wanted to make sure this info was out there.
Since our first milestone at the end of June, we have had a second milestone (August), frozen the code (September), and have refactored the web site and documentation to account for new versions. We have been fortunate to receive a lot of bug reports, ideas for improvement, and (best of all) patches for both. The IBM programmers that donated the current code base have continued to work on bugs related to the core engine and code generation tools. Programmers from Compuware have contributed a large set of code for OSGi-based deployment and some refactoring of the core engine. Our Cisco contributors helped us recreate our build with Maven so that we had less scripts and less steps; they have submitted a number of bug reports/fixes as well, but the help in setting up a build/test framework was most important (and unexpected). Finally, the Eclipse TPTP and Corona programmers have integrated Muse into their projects, giving it even more exercise before our freeze and release. When you add all of these contributions together, we have a stable codebase that offers an implementation of the recently-ratified WSRF 1.2, WSDM 1.1, and WSN 1.3 specs for Axis2 and OSGi. Our plan for the rest of the year is to focus on bug reports and the mailing list for our release. The team is happy with our status so far, and I'd like to open the floor to the PMC to see if anyone has any questions or discussion before we branch the code and vote next week. This is the first release for all of our committers, so we'd like to make sure we haven't overlooked anything.
