Sure, clean up the javadoc. I'm still checking the configuration and the site and that I've done all the preparation needed for the release. I don't think I can start the release today though. It should be simple and quick if everything works out but from the past experience of cutting the very first release, you may need a continuous block of several hours to work through the remaining issues and I don't have that today. Overall, tomorrow morning works better for me. On branches: while they are cheap to create, I'd resist creating a release branch just for getting 1.0.0 out. In practice, we are the only two active committers at the moment so we can easily handle the communication. Also we really don't have any idea for a feature set for 1.1, so creating a 1.0.x release branch at this time is pointless. Once the release is done, development of 1.0.1 release will continue in the trunk until we identify an issue to work on that should be scheduled for some other release than 1.0.1. Kalle
