Given the errors in the wiki documentation and the lack of on-line
help, it is hard to see how this could be considered "tested" (try to
install it using the docs for a "recommended" production database and
you can see it is not possible that it passed "manual tests" unless the
test suite is too trivial to be taken seriously) or "complete" (on-line
help just opens a page of sections headings that does not do anything
when you click on it).
I don't see any Release notes in the distribution.
Are the new features at least documented?
Did the use cases for the new features and bug fixes get into the
documentation?
If the PMC group continues to allow new releases to be made without any
attention to documentation, OfBiz will never get the documentation that
it needs. At least make documentation of items that are worked on in a
release, mandatory.
Is it possible for the PMC to set some targets for a target level of
documentation so that there is a baseline set of JIRA issues on which
the PMC agrees?

The following text is quoted from the above url:
"Votes on whether a package is ready to be released use majority approval -- i.e. at
least three PMC members must vote affirmatively for release, and there must be more
positive than negative votes. Releases may not be vetoed. Generally the community will
cancel the release vote if anyone identifies serious problems, but in most cases the
ultimate decision, lies with the individual serving as release manager."
