I have prepared the RC3 (not voting yet due to some questions left), you
may find updated links at the end of the mail.

The main changes were

   - using now SHA-512 instead of SHA-1 for Apache distribution
   - updated the README files of most subprojects
   - added Tom to the CHANGES.txt as a mentor

Aside of this, I have updated our incubator project website
<http://incubator.apache.org/projects/odftoolkit.html> (e.g. the previous
release was not mentioned).

Before I start a vote, I have got some general release questions I could
not find the answers to on the online documentation:

   1. There is a DEPENDENCIES file at the root of our release source bundle
   (22,5 MB)
   
<https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/odftoolkit/0.6.2-incubating/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating-source-release.zip>.

   The DEPENDENCIES file is basically empty, is this meant to be, fix it or
   shall remove it?
   The comment within states that the file should list the transitive
   dependencies (in other words: the dependencies of our project dependencies)
   gathered by Maven via the pom.
   I would expect the content might be similar to anyone could receive when
   calling
   ' mvn -f pom.xml dependency:tree'
   from our project root directory.
   2. Does the JAR accessible via Maven have to include NOTICE, README,
   DISCLAIMER files as well? I heard gossip, but could not find any
   documentation about it.
   If so, a pointer to another Maven using incubator project would be
   helpful to apply their handling.
   3. Like the BIN and DOC artefacts in a folder and the source and root
   level? Is this the way it should be?
   4. Does anyone have pointers to scripts doing automated Apache
   (incubating) release testing?
