<!-- NKB todo
  <p>The 2.0 final release is scheduled for the end of November 2001.
  </p>

  <p>
   The following is extracted from the thread
   [C2]: Release Candidate 2 ... 2001-10-29
  </p>

<source><![CDATA[
> The question is now, what has to be done until then?
>
> 1) We have many open bugs in bugzilla. These must be reviewed
>    and then solved (or declared invalid etc).
>
> 2) Documentation updates (this area lacks most)
>    We could move this to the final release.
Documentation must be happening all the time, and not left
until last.

> 3) Decide what to backport from the 2.1 head.
>    I'm +1 on removing the CodeFactories completly in 2.0, too.
>    This would avoid any backcompatibility problems.
>
> 4) Layout the distribution
>    This is a point we haven't discussed yet. Currently our
>    distribution is a mixture of a source and a binary one.
>    We deliver the source and a compiled version, but in order
>    to run Cocoon, the user has to build a war file.
>    I propose to split this: one source distribution which is
>    similar to the current one but without the precompiled
>    cocoon jar and a binary distribution containing only the
>    war file. This war file should work in most servlet engines,
>    perhaps not in all.
>
> So anything missing here?

5) Ensure that licensing requirements have been met.
  update jars.xml, ensure proper banner in *.java header,
  verify the current LICENSE* files, ensure that external
  components have suitable licensing requirements.
