Neal - I'm not sure what the issue is here? The signatures and checksums are all present in the directory so anyone can verify that the files have been signed by the Lucene.Net guys and that the files have not been tampered with
This is normal Apache process, the release candidates are open to anyone to test and vote upon (though only PMC members have binding votes). The main point of making it available in this way at this stage is primarily for the PMC to review and vote on the release. This vote is for so there are multiple eyes checking that the release meets the Apache guidelines (http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html) in terms of licensing, source code release etc. Prescott - As far as I'm aware what you've done is completely fine though you may want to check in with your incubation mentors if they are still monitoring the project. We use the same process for Apache Jena, the release candidates are published in the Apache webspace of whoever is acting as Release Manager for the release. Since they are release candidates they should not be uploaded to the official distribution area for the project because they have not yet been approved by the PMC as a release (and uploading them to the distribution area would get them mirrored across the entire mirror network which is not what you want!)
