Sounds great Jacopo, I look forward to seeing feedback from you and
others.
BTW, for documenting the general release process I added a page here:

David,
that's great news, thanks for working on this.
I will download and test the release and I will provide feedback.
I really hope that also others will help on this in the next few
days: after this we could be ready to complete the release process
and ask for graduation.

On this topic... I've been looking at the release stuff and
decided to just go for it...
For this initial RC1 for version 4.0.0 I decided to go with the
tag route and we'll do a branch later when we're ready to do a
final release. The "tag" in this case is just an svn "soft" tag,
ie the implicit tag from the revision number (see the REVISION)
file in the archive. A real tag in SVN is pretty much the same as
a branch and I think is a little heavier than what we need for this.
Before moving on to the next step we need to review this among
ourselves. Here is a list of things that I can think of that we
need review in this:
1. test un-archive and run as-is (should only require JDK installed)
2. identify and show-stopper bugs that we should fix before a real RC
3. check all ASF required files (NOTICE, LICENSE, KEYS, etc) and
headers
4. check PGP and MD5 files
5. anything else?
Anyone who feels comfortable looking at these things, please do
and comment as needed!
The files are posted for initial review as attachments on the
docs.ofbiz.org site to this page:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/wAE
Thanks in to everyone for your help getting to this point, and of
course your help reviewing this so we can move to the next step!

I've prepared a draft of the Incubator September report here:

The next OFBiz report will be due in December... do you think it
is possible to try to graduate before that date? Who can help to
wrap up the release candidate of OFBiz (that is the very last
task we have to complete, even if it is not a mandatory task)?
