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.

Version Consensus:

As per the suggestions on the mailing list, the initial release will be 1.0.0-incubating.M1 similar to how Spring projects use releases.  This may be followed by one or subsequent milestone releases (.M2, M3, etc).  As stability improves and the community determines the project is ready we can prepare a final release 1.0.0-incubating.RELEASE.
