I am trying: http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-gpg-plugin/sign-and-deploy-file-mojo.html right now. Assuming that goes through, we can call a vote.

I agree, in general, we need to be able to get releases out faster and more reliable. People also should, especially when it is near release time, be encouraged to try trunk, as we aren't going to be making drastic changes at that point and it is much better to get the testing out of the way up front.

Yeah OK, then sign by hand? Sigs are important indeed.

I'm just weighing this against, again, 2 more emails today about
problems that I fixed ages ago, that people aren't getting since
they're downloading 0.1. You guys are also in a great position to
promote 0.2 in person. I think it'd be great to get them out ASAP.

Is there anything at all I can do?

What were you referring to in your last email then about legal bits? I
am genuinely curious to understand things like that since they are
important.

Oh, sorry.  Was confused by your confusion!

The relevant line in the prior email was:

"Any and all artifacts that we put up under our stuff are our artifacts and people need to be able to verify that what we put up is what we intended to
put up."

So, those are the legal bits. People need to be able to trust what we put
up their.  Sigs and MD5 hashes, etc. help establish that trust.
