[wtp-dev] Achieving WTP 1.0 Quality Targets

[Arthur Ryman <ryman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure everyone wants to be proud
of WTP 1.0. We have a large number of serious bugs so we really need to
focus on quality for the remainder of the development cycle:

blocker        
       8
critical        
       22
major        
       153

Total        
       183

We are planning a final release candidate
on Dec. 7 which allows for a 1 week cooling off period prior to our Dec.
16 release. That means we have 3 weeks to fix bugs. Since there is so little
time left, we need to be "ruthless" about what we work on. Please
defer any work item that does not directly contribute to WTP 1.0 quality.
This includes all outstanding enhancements. As usual, all CVS commit messages
should include a bug number, i.e. all work should be associated with a
bug.
