Greets, In my assessment, the Lucy source tree is now ready for a Release Manager to begin the release process described at <http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/ReleaseGuide>, working towards a provisional release date of May 12, 2011 -- one week from today.
Here is my review of the release preparation tasks listed at <http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/ReleasePrep>, which are the collective responsibility of the Lucy community rather than the RM: [x] RAT passes: <http://ci.apache.org/projects/lucy/rat-output.html>. [x] No open issues assigned to this release: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCY/fixforversion/12315575>. [x] Copyright notices are up-to-date. [x] CHANGES file is up-to-date, save for the insertion of the release date. [x] LICENSE and NOTICE look good to me. [x] Portability: builds and tests clean on OS X and CentOS under GCC, and on Windows 7 under MSVC. [x] Extended tests: The test_valgrind build target passes on OS X. The only remaining items on our 0.1.0 TODO list relate to our web presence: http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/Release-0.1-incubating The Lucy website needs some more work (including the addition of a "Downloads" page), our wiki needs gardening, and we must get ready to publish html-ified versions of the Perl binding documentation as soon as the release is out -- but IMO none of those should block starting release process. Chris Mattmann, are you still willing and able to take on the role of RM? Marvin Humphrey
