We should definitely automate it. I've had great experience with Vagrant,
here are my scripts to automate the NumPy release:

https://github.com/certik/numpy-vendor

That among linux tgz even builds a binary for Windows. The advantage
of Vagrant is that anyone can easily run it, both Mac or Linux and
the environment is 100% the same. (Travis CI also uses Vagrant btw.)

Aaron, are you able to run Vagrant on your Mac? Let me know if you
are in favor of that, and I can write the initial release script using Vagrant,
and then we keep improving it (all of us).

Yes, releasing each week, or each month would be great.

I think we are too worried of each release to be "perfect". I wouldn't worry
about #1561. I think we can improve the notebook in the next release.
I think it's more important to get the main code base released and make
sure that all tests work on all platforms. I think that's the only issue and
I think we are pretty good at that.
