David,
I too hope to see more feedback (i.e. votes) on the release proposal.
I think that in an official release we should at least include the mod I
did into 447424 because without it the order creation could fail :-(

I'm not sure if my vote is necessary or even kosher since I sent out the
vote proposal and perhaps mine is implied?
Anyway, if would be great if we could get some more review of the this
release test snapshot. This is one way we can demonstrate the real
strength and size of the OFBiz community. It is also a way we can
identify problems and fix them as necessary and thereby move toward a
very good release after we graduate, which is important as that release
will likely get a lot of attention from outside the current OFBiz
community.

This is the vote to approve the 4.0.0 TS3 "release", which is really a
"Test Snapshot" to test the release process and legal artifacts and
such. The files we are voting on are the third pass, now using the
"TS3" suffix as this is the second pass and the TS instead of RC to
clarify that this is a Test Snapshot more than a traditional Release
Candidate (which has clearly been confusing for quite a few people).
There were a couple of minor things that needed fixing so we're doing
another pass and restarting the vote. Hopefully this is the last pass
and we'll be good to go on this one. Thanks to everyone for feedback
on the others to get things cleaned up and such.
To reiterate, the main things we need to review for this test snapshot
are:
1. PGP signature (.asc) and MD5 checksum (.md5) file validity
2. Proper license headers, NOTICE, and LICENSE files
3. Basic unarchive and run success
This is not meant to be a release in the traditional sense with a
branch, testing cycles, and so on, and is not meant to be a reference
point or used by end-users. It is an important part of the incubation
process for OFBiz at the ASF and after we approach a test snapshot
release we will submit it to the larger incubator community and the
incubator board for review.
Please note that everyone is welcome to vote, but only PPMC members
have "binding" votes. We'll leave this open until at least the end of
day on Tuesday to give people the some time to review it.
For more details on this release, including links to files to
download, see the Confluence page at:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/wAE
Note that the best place to download the files is from the
people.apache.org links there.
