Release Plan for Apache Slide 1.0
---------------------------------

This document is a release plan for a 1.0 release of the Apache Slide project 
(called "Slide" in the rest of this document). This release plan must be 
adopted by the Apache Slide committers with a lazy majority vote, as per the 
Apache Software Foundation bylaws 
(http://jakarta.apache.org/site/decisions.html).

Slide 1.0 aims to provide a stable WebDAV-centric Content Management System, 
as described on the project home page (http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/). 
The release intends to provide :

1) Compliance with the WebDAV level 2 IETF Internet Standard, and the WebDAV 
Access Control Protocol IETF Internet Draft (currently in last call phase).

2) Binary compatibility for Slide 1.x releases.

3) Advanced integration capabilities.

4) Documentation (website and API Javadoc).

A separate release plan will be published for other Slide development branches
(1.1 or later).

Release Manager: TBD. Either Remy Maucherat, Juergen Pill or Dirk Verbeeck.
