Hi Jacopo,

first of all thanks for your work of removing author information that you have done today. I have update my local build and I have seen some more information of author is remaining on the sources and so I will send you this patch.
I'm sorry but I was not able to help you during the day.
I have seen also into InventoryServices.java a reference to http://jira.undersunconsulting.com/browse/OFBIZ-662 and I don't if it must be removed from the source file.

Thanks again
Marco

David, all,

when will we vote for a new Test Snapshot Release?

Here is a list of open tasks (some of them are minor and/or optional), based on feedback from the Incubator's guys:

*** From Leo Simons ***

1) You're shipping various libraries and stuff which I know include NOTICE files of their own, but those notices are not found or referenced anywhere outside their jars (for example ant.jar has a META-INF/NOTICE.txt). I would say the NOTICE file should point to those other notice files that exist somewhere deep within such a big distribution, but I think that's maybe not a legal requirement.

2) I downloaded the tgz. I always get annoyed when a software release doesn't extract into an obvious name. Eg `tar zxf apache-of* && cd apache-of*` should work. Probably a religious subject.

3) the statistical sample (random clicking) of files I opened all have "copyright 2001-2006 The ASF". I suspect that's wrong, since IIRC ofbiz wasn't @ apache in 2001. The year 2001 should probably be replaced by the year when development of ofbiz started @ apache.

4) even if you don't branch, you should really do an `svn tag` for any release (even RCs). Tagging is basically free, and it provides that much more clarity on 'what is what'

*** From Robert Burren Donkin ***

5) FYI a source distribution is required but i'm assume that you know
how to svn export

And here are my comments:

#1: completing the NOTICE file is the last big task that we have to do... and I'm not sure to understand what we have to do to complete it.

#2, #4 are suggestions that we can include to the TSR process (as documented in the doc site) and can be considered when preparing the release files.

#5: even if I don't agree with some of Robert's arguments for asking this, I think that we can easily create such a file for the release

#3: if you want I can work on this... what is the correct copyright notice that should be used instead?

Jacopo
