Hi Jeen.
I think that Gunnar covered most of the answers.
The short version is that milestones are intended to be builds that lead
up to a release. You can just put these milestone builds on your
project's download page.
You should set up that release record with a projected date for your
full release. There are fields in the record for specifying milestone
dates that you can use if you'd like.
Please don't create release records for milestones.
Also, not sure how I add issues to this plan: it seems to assume we
use Bugzilla rather than GitHub issues.
It's on our list, but we're not there yet.

In the meantime, I'm open to ideas. Perhaps you can just include a link
in the description field.
HTH,
Wayne

hi,
The technology.rdf4j incubation project is at the point where,
technically, we're about ready to do our first release. However, since
we're still in incubation (and parallel IP review is ongoing) we must
take babysteps, and instead of a "full" release do a Milestone release
instead.
Now as said, technically the code is in a good enough state to do
this. Where I have some questions and can use some confirmation is
everything surrounding this first milestone.
First of all: it is my understanding that for a milestone release such
as we want to do, no full release review is necessary. Is that correct?
Second, I know that I need a 'release plan' in place. In fact I've
already created a simple one:
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.rdf4j/releases/2.0
However from what I understand this is intended for "proper" releases
(i.e. once we come out of incubation). So should I already have this
up and complete for this milestone build already - and what should be
in it, precisely? This release is rather boring as it just is
feature-equal to the last release we did under our old project name.
Also, not sure how I add issues to this plan: it seems to assume we
use Bugzilla rather than GitHub issues.
Third: I know we need to keep an IP Log and of course we have one here:
https://www.eclipse.org/projects/ip_log.php?projectid=technology.rdf4j
Do I need to do anything with this at this point? I know it's normally
part of the release review so I assume that it's not necessary to
submit for a milestone build, but I thought I'd check.
Anything else I overlooked? Ideally we'd like to push this build out
the door in the next week or so, but of course if a review is
necessary then we can postpone a little longer.
Kind regards,
Jeen
PS in case you're wondering: our first release uses version 2.0, not
1.0, because we plan to do a "backport" to Java 7 later and release
that as 1.0.
