Sadly, yah. (But, this is the point of the Incubator to sort these issues out...) Releases of Apache code are done via a consensus review process - so any one individual can not 'release' a project by themselves - it requires the PMC to approve it. Here's some recommended reading: http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html http://httpd.apache.org/dev/release.html http://subversion.apache.org/docs/community-guide/releasing.html The general process is that someone posts a prospective release candidate to the list, at least 3 PMC members review it and approve it, then it can be an official release. I see Chris just emailed with some similar points, so I'll stop browbeating ya now. *grin* Please let me know if you have any questions. -- justin
