Basically, when it's done :-) Having said that, see below for the
estimates I would make for the separate stages. If they are anywhere
near accurate then I think we're looking towards the end of September
(which seems like a good time just before ApacheCon).
By publish, I mean having a stable but unreleased artifact in the
snapshot maven repo.

Jeremy, when is your target date for this next release? I hope to get
back to the OSGi binding/hosting code within the next week and I'd
really like to try and get something into the release.
... snip ...
1) Specs (sdo-api, sca-api, commonj)
These should be stable now as the specifications have been
published.
I think these are ready and we can publish a stable version now.
2) SCA Core (spi, core, hostutil, test, plus apis once that
refactor is done)
Features I would like to see complete before we consider this
stable are:
Class loading changes
Integration of databinding framework
Support for async callbacks
Support for complex properties
Transitive dependency support
I hope that we can get this wrapped and published by 9/11
3) Baseline extensions - ones we think are essential for users
idl.wsdl 9/11
binding.axis 9/18 (depends on Axis 1.1 release)
binding.celtix 9/18
binding.rmi 9/11
databinding.axiom 9/11
databinding.sdo 9/11 (depends on a SDO release)
databinding.jaxb 9/11
container.javascript
container.spring
I am assuming the axiom, sdo and jaxb databindings sync with the
framework as we need something there to test it out.
I don't have a good feeling for how long it will take to get the
containers working.
4) Optional extensions - nice to have but which may not be ready to
bundle
binding.jsonrpc
binding.osgi
databinding.xmlbeans
databinding.castor
container.groovy
5) Host distributions - host environments that each form the basis
for each bundle
Standalone (with axis, celtix, rmi, spring)
Web-app (with axis, celtix, rmi, json, spring, javascript)
Based on Jim's feedback I don't think we would be doing a Web-app
distribution; instead there would be a web-app maven plugin to
package a war with a suitably configured war inside it. See 7) for that.
6) Sample applications
Technology sample framework (subject of another mail)
BigBank application if ready
7) Tools
Web-app maven plugin 9/4
