I don't know whether you have permission to do so (so I just created it). I also added you to the felix-committers group which gives you committers permission on the JIRA FELIX project. Are you planning on releasing single http modules or always everything together ? My personal opinion would be to have an initial http-2.0.0 release encompassing "everything" and then release modules as required. WDYT ? > 2) Who drives the release of individual components? I can drive the "http" > dev-release process if that suites everybody. According to [1] every committer can be a release manager, which is the person driving the release. So if you think a release is due, you might want to post a quick poll on the list and then just do it. You do this by following the release management guide at [2]. > 3) Any rules regarding when to do a release or snapshot releases of > individual components? None that I would know of. Snapshot releases are done as required with no formal processes. But keep in mind SNAPSHOT "releases" are not releases in the understanding of Apache. Whether you release all http parts together or indivually is up to you as the release manager. As said above, I propose to do an initial "full release" and later release modules as required. > Would really like release a 2.0.0 version as soon as possible.

For me atleast :-) Having a first release soon, would definitely be a good thing.
