Following table captures a list of work items to be completed for a successful release. This list will evolve in the first few meetings but should stabilize as we approach the release dates. Also, specific tasks would eventually translate into JIRAs.
As per the suggestions on the mailing list, the initial release will be 1.0.0-alpha1. This may be followed by one or subsequent alpha releases (-alpha2, -alpha3, etc). As stability improves and the community determines the project is ready we can prepare the 1.0.0 release candidate.
