[Mono-devel-list] Mono v1.0

While I was out doing the grocery shopping today, a thought suddenly
dawned on me.  While there's been occasional talk about Mono's v1.0
release (which was last mentioned as being towards the end of Q1 2004)
there has been no talk about what's expected to be in v1.0.

I'm guessing it'll involve a stable mono and mcs, the core class
libraries, some documentation, ASP.NET and ADO.NET, but has anyone
actually put a stick in the ground yet and laid out the features that
are expected in v1.0?

I know it's kinda unimportant at the moment but I personally would be
keen to know what's meant by Mono v1.0
