Hi,

In the 'Creating an Apache Release' section of the graduation guide [1], I
am a little confused by the statements of 'cut a release', 'publish a
release' and 'create a release'. What's the difference between them?
I really know what this section means generally, but when I tried to
translate I met difficult.
I thought these three statements are equal previous, but I'm not sure now.

>  Podlings do not need to actually *publish *a release to demonstrate that
they understand how to accomplish such a feat. However, creating a release
that is approved by the incubator project management committee is usually
the simplest way to do this.

What does the highlight *publish* imply? Anyway, I get 'create a release'
is better.

> If you are going to cut a release (which is highly recommended), then
please read the Incubator Release Management Guide for hints, tips and
guidelines for cutting a release that will get approved by the IPMC without
problems.

Why recommend 'cut a release' this time instead of 'create a release'?

I am trying to translate this guide to local language, it's very appreciate
if anyone could help.
