Proposal for Current Release Cutting Strategy:
1.) Maven should be used to generate releases in the various required formats.
2.) We should define or override clear maven goals within the math/maven.xml to produce the release and clearly document the process for the Release Manager.
3.) We should start using version numbers and documenting when we cut in the project.xml and cvs tagging.
commons-math-0.1-dev is sort of a weak and inadequate starting point, recommend we change it to "commons-math-1.0" and start incrementing. Once we establish our release date, I don't see how [dev|alpha|beta|rcX] designations are really going to help us this early on. Lets just cut it and then deal with real issues that arise afterward. If our users really want testing versions, we can start using them.
4.) We should outline the appropriate contents and directory structuring for a release.The current configuration I've worked on produces the following:
*binary releases* (tar.gz and zip)
Archive: commons-math-0.1-dev.zip

So the jar has no tests and no experimental code within it.
Any Comments?
