       Apache Incubator River Project - "AR1" Release

SET
====
* Goal:  initial release from River project, integrating the starter kit
  and serviceui contributions

* Should we go with the current starter kit release bundle structure?
   -> decided yes, for this release

* What kind of development process do we need?  JIRA issues for
   all changes?  code reviews?
   -> vote approved basic dev process (including: tracking issues and
        changes, issue discussions, code reviews, testing, and handling
        security -related issues)

* Bundle starterkit and serviceui in the release bundle?
   (assuming yes)  How should serviceui fit in?
-> JIRA-264 moving the service ui classes directly into the starter kit tree, including them in (jsk)-lib.jar and (jsk)-dl.jar and keeping
        the serviceui.jar around for at least a release or two.

* Some (build) issues around outrigger sources to work
   -> JIRA-263  remove logstore as part of the outrigger build work
        for AR1

   -> JIRA-266
