While I was on my Western US tour, Glen cut the next "dev" release of
POI.  You may find it here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-poi/dev/src/ and
http://jakarta.apache.org/builds/jakarta-poi/dev/bin/
Why we skipped a release number, only Glen would know.  :-)

We do not yet follow whatever conventions we're supposed to be following
for mirroring because no one has described it intelligibly on any public
list to which Glen is subscribed.
Enjoy.

IMHO it's quite a bit more involved that preparing a old-style release.

i'm currently preparing a revised release procedure document for commons. 
this will contain detailed instructions on how i mirrored the recent 
releases i cut.

I don't think this is an attitude we want to promote.  Unless I've
been hoodwinked, the purpose of Apache (sub)projects is not to put
companies out of business.  It may be an unfortunate and unintended
side-effect, but not a motivating goal or metric for success.  Your
statement about causing Microsoft (or any other company for that matter)
to start

The primary advantage of doing this was to simply to avoid confusion.  
When people say they are using 1.9 it's obvious that it was a nightly 
and not the milestone build.


makes sense.  Thats why you're the man.

PS:  Announcement to the announcement list is coming. 
cool.  Note that I sent this here due to the stated eventual preference 
that releases will be voted on here.  This is just a development release 
or milestone so I doubt it would be subject to this, but I thought it 
responsible to post it to further the evolution of this process. 

PSS: Hopefully my access request will come through so I can publish a 
myself without having to wait and I can time the announcements correctly.
Brian has already granted your access with the same password as on 
icarus.  Give it a whirl.  He also noted that your .forward seems to be 
malfunctioning.  While you're at it you might want to update the web 
pages (I left that to you so that you would have something to do to try 
it out)...

I guess we really need to write this down.

To clarify my (maybe flawed) thinking:

We were running a nightly build called 1.9-dev.  The milestone build before 
that was 1.8-dev.  In order to avoid confusion with the milestone and 
nightly build I bumped up the build number to 1.10-dev and make the new 
nightly builds 1.11-dev.

The primary advantage of doing this was to simply to avoid confusion.  When 
people say they are using 1.9 it's obvious that it was a nightly and not 
the milestone build.

Regards,

Glen

Do you have a way of determining the user base of POI?  Any guidelines based
