Jon,
you should consider a blog post on blog.xenproject.org for increased visibility

Hi all,

It's about time we had a release!

There has been a huge amount of effort been spent over the last year or
so since we joined the Linux Foundation, and we're almost at the point
where the master branch of the xapi-project repositories can be used to
manage VMs in several different environments. So the main goal of this
release is that it works without source change on XenServer, CentOS 6.5
and Ubuntu 14.04. Note that this will be a source only release, as with
standard xen-project releases.

What we need to do is agree as a community what we need to do before we
hit the release button. We had a good starting discussion at the Xen
Hackathon last week, which I'll summarise here:

* Needs to pass 'exercise.sh' tests on Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 6.5 (via
buildroot packages).
* On XenServer, we can exploit the Citrix internal tests (nightly and
stress), which need to pass with 'reasonable' rates.
* All OCaml libraries must be available in opam - either through
xapi-project/opam-repo-dev or (preferably) the standard opam repository.
* Need to be able to bypass xcp-networkd taking over the management of
the networking on the host.
* Documentation! We need at least installation, basic usage, and how to
contribute, including build instructions.

So, if anyone else has any suggestions for what needs to be done before
release, please reply and we'll gather together a list of requirements.

Also, we'll need to track the todo list. Anybody have any preference for
where to do this? wiki.xenproject.org? Github issues?

Cheers,

Jon
