Robert Kowalski commented on COUCHDB-1787:
------------------------------------------

Hi Amarnath,

I'm sorry that you feel disappointed. Sadly every project (e.g.
CouchDB) just has limited resources regarding possible mentors.
Additionally there is just a limited amount of seats for students in
the whole Apache Foundation.

CouchDB got a lot really good proposals this year, far more than we
have mentors.

I also want to point out that submitting a proposal is not a guarantee
that the proposal gets accepted.

Maybe we can work together next year on a project

All the best,
Robert

> The release process today contains a large number of manual transformation 
> steps.
> Fixing this will make the release process significantly easier for release 
> managers, as well as less error-prone.
> Ideally the output formats (NEWS, CHANGES in source tree, and HTML snippets 
> for http://couchdb.org/ website and http://blogs.apache.org/couchdb ) can be 
> auto-generated from either the .rst files in share/doc/src using sphinx's 
> .versionaddded/changed tags, or potentially from commit messages if this is 
> appropriate.
> CouchDB documentation is generated today from restructured text using python 
> code, and rolled into the release documentation during `make distcheck`.
