jMaki 1.1 tasks

The proposed schedule jMaki 1.1 based on discussion in the tech meeting. Based on that discussion we have pruned down the jMaki 1.1 release quite a bit. The theme for this release is limited features and documentation. We will be including new features most of which have been implemented and alot of new work will focus on documentation. As a result, tasks have been moved to the section jMaki 1.2 release. We are open to addng a feature to the 1.1 release if there is ample time for testing and documentation.

Target Release dates:

Beta release: March 14, 2008

Beta 2 release: May 2, 2008 or just before JavaOne^?. If quality is good enough then this will be a final release.

These are in priority order but not all tasks have been assigned to an engineer yet.
