One thing I would love to see is some documentation about the process. For
example I would love to see some docs such as the following collated and used
as reference. They could just be "guidelines" and people could be free to
ignore them. Of course not all of them are relevent for all languages while
some are. Anyways here are some examples;
Releasing:
--http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-ant/ReleaseInstructions?rev=1.9.2.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
--http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/development/release-process.html
Jakarta commons has a step-by-step process for releasing:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/releases.html
Branching CVS (and presumably Subversion):
--http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/development/branches.html
Versioning (C specific but with slight mods could be java aswell):
--http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html
Jakarta commons has a java specific versioning document:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/versioning.html
Deprecation Rules (java specific?):
--http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/maven/development/deprecation.html
etc.
[the rest snipped]
