That report looks good to me.
Most people continue to email me personally rather than the apache
mailling list, I think because of the lack of an apache release. Is
there anyone familiar with the Apache organization who can guide this
project to its first release?
Sure. I can help.
This project could have a single source distribution (.zip) and a single
binary distribution (.jar).
The source distro could be simply a zip of the source tree (rooted at
trunk).
The binary distro could be the result of building the .jar file and
making sure that the appropriate LICENSE and NOTICE files are included
when building it.
Both source and binary artifacts need to be signed (detached gpg
signature) and checksummed (.md5).
The biggest issue is making sure that there is a repeatable build
process. Something like a "BUILDING.txt" file at the same level as trunk
would be appropriate.
The maven build already works, I've setup everything some months ago and
we can just use the mvn release plugin to build the source and bin dists
(and the mvn artifacts).
I'll do a test build in the next days and we can see if that is what we
want.
Big +1 for a release :)
