Hm,
I hate to spoil you here but according to a recent board discussion,
some discussion on [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a completely botched release
attempt in Velocity land:
You actually have to roll and sign a tarball/zip ball on which the vote
happens. "Release-then-Vote" seems to be the only accepted way by the
board these days; personally I do prefer "Vote-then-Release" myself but
that seems to be the way it is.
On the release itself I'm +1, on the procedure I prefer to abstain. :-)
Best regards
Henning
