I'll go on record as stating that this plan substantially complies with the guidelines. In general, Apache isn't rigid on process matters particularly when the issue isn't contentious. The fundamental aspect is a clearly stated intent to release calling for a vote by the contributors to the project. One thing worth mentioning: releases are a majority vote, not a consensus vote. A -1 in this context is not a veto. > There will be a CVS freeze (voluntary) for this time. If there is a desire by some to continue development, one way to handle this would be to create a branch for 1.3. Development could continue on the head, but only changes specifically committed to the branch would be a part of the release. > I volunteer to be the release manager for this release. +1 - Sam Ruby
