[News.eclipse.dsdp.mtj] MTJ 1.0 Feature list proposal

["Rauno Seppala" <rauno.seppala@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everybody,

As release 0.7 starts to be 'finalized', I would like to start discussion 
about the next release - 1.0. From here you may find planned overall 
schedule and a list of already identified feature candidates.

At this point, I would like to hear if you have any other proposals or 
comments to already listed ones.

Proposed process would be to discuss about these on eclipse.dsdp.mtj news 
group. Then, lets say, on mid October I will collect all comments together 
and make a summary.

After finalizing the feature set, we'll start describing them as uses cases 
and gradually go to development phase.

In order to decide implementation order/milestones, prioritization and 
estimation of a complexity should be known (=risk level).

If you have will to participate and contribute use case work and/or 
development of any features, please, let us know.
