I can help if there is anything that can be easily delegated.

Thank you for would like provide some help.
Can you help to draft the release notes, new features and bug fixed?

I have request a CWIKI page for our project, I would like to post a task
list for the release. Then we will clear to know where we are.


Yes, that's something I can definitively do. I think we should also adjust the versioning in JIRA. Currently there are a lot of versions that seem to be the module versions (probably imported from the old project structure). I think it would be good to rename those so that the module name is part of the version (e.g. odfdom-0.8.8). Another option would be to use the umbrella version in JIRA only (currently 0.5-incubating and the upcoming 0.6-incubating).

For the format of the release notes I think it would be nice to include the changes for all releases and always attach the newest version at the top. I like the way the Lucene project is doing this: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/lucene/dev/trunk/solr/CHANGES.txt?view=markup

They also have one wiki page per release that contains the release announcement as well as any errata to the release notes (see e.g. https://wiki.apache.org/solr/Solr3.6.1)

As we are using Maven we could also use the Maven changes plugin http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-changes-plugin/ but I think nothing beats a txt file.

If everybody is ok with this I'd like to restructure our changes.txt to something similar to what Lucene is doing and create two wiki pages for the last release and the upcoming release.

Regards
Florian
