Stefan,

I have gone through the procedure and created and signed the release artifacts. 
The only issue seems to be that only PMC members are allowed to put the release 
artifacts into the release directory.

So, the files can be obtained at http://www.shadstorhaug.com/lucenenet.zip. 
Please download, unzip, and upload the contents to the 
https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/lucenenet/ directory.

Let me know if there is anything out of place, as this is the first time I have 
tried this.

Not sure. On one hand, the original request for adding .NET Core support was 
nearly a year ago (https://github.com/sillsdev/icu-dotnet/issues/8). On the 
other, along with 2 beta releases already this month, there has been a flurry 
of activity around Connie's recent pull request 
(https://github.com/sillsdev/icu-dotnet/pull/37).

But since beta means a small subset of our users, and International means a 
small subset of those users, it isn't likely there will be many complaints.


Thanks,
Shad Storhaug (NightOwl888)

Actually, for the ASF vote the source packages are way more important than the 
binaries. The later are just a convenience. This is true even though all of our 
users are going to consume the binaries. But the release is the source 
tarball/zip.

Yes. Somebody needs to create the release artifacts including the nuget 
packages, PGP sign them, publish them to dist.apache.org/dev and call for a 
vote.

Is this a likely scenario? The vote should be finished within 72 hours or so. 
Worst case we could cancel the vote, adapt the code, build new artifacts and 
run a new vote.

Sounds good.
