Attached is a draft of the 2.1.1 release plan. I cribbed the formatting
from Struts, hope they don't mind.

<p>The objective of the <strong>James 2.1.1</strong> release is to \
stabilize the 2.1 release. Several known issues will be addressed
in addition to issues that are yet to be discovered by the user
community. This plan will be updated as these issues are \

<p>A number of new features have been added to James in the 2.1 release, \
including...(TODO: what's new in James 2.1?)</p>
<p>No new Features will be added to James.</p>
<p>Testing effort will be focused on testing the new features in James, \
regressing
previously-closed bugs, and expanding the client and server \
configuration
test coverage as much as possible. The following test plan (TODO:
write a test plan :) )</p>
<p>Reported bugs must be CLOSED by someone other than the person fixing \
the bug,
preferrably the person that filed the bug. All bugs that are to
be resolved WORKSFORME, WONTFIX, and LATER must be resolved as
such by someone other than the person initially assigned to the
bug.</p>
<p>Coding effort will be focused on driving the bug count to the release \
criteria
bug profile and maintaining this profile for 30 days. All changes
to the code base must be traced to a bug number.</p>
<p>Therefore, the following release plan is proposed for James 2.1.1: \
<br> </p>
<ul>
<li><em>Code Freeze / Tag Date</em> - TBD</li>
<li><em>Release Manager</em> - TBD</li>
<li><em>Release Announcement</em> - To the following mailing lists:
<ul>
<li>announcements@jakarta.apache.org</li>
<li>james-dev@jakarta.apache.org</li>
<li>james-user@jakarta.apache.org</li>
</ul>
