Woo hoo, someone that wants to put together a real release process and build system! You're my hero :-) I like the maven concept, I just haven't had the time or inclination to climb its learning curve. If you're up for it, I'm +1. My only requirement is that users must be able to check out the project and build it without any extra configuration. Of course, Maven is supposed to help with this. BTW, you mentioned releasing a 2.2.1... but I don't believe there have been any commits (to the core) since 2.2.0. Not much point :-) I like the versioning scheme you described, which is what Orion has been using for aeons now. Releases always have increasing version numbers, but new ones are labeled "experimental" and after-the-fact some are labeled "stable". I'm not sure how well sourceforge's system supports that model, can we just rename releases with -experimental or -stable?
