Marvin, While I (think I) can understand your concern (that it should be the mentors who are reviewing releases, not yet another group), I'd suggest that Jukka's approach might be a way to get there. The incubator release process is, at the moment, pretty fraught, and I suspect there are only a h

Great idea. For those interested in helping the documentation side of this you might find the task oriented documenation that the Rave project developed during incubation useful. This has already been successfully adopted by at least two other podlings. Of course it is project and build tool spec

Hi, The Incubator ships about half a dozen releases each month on average, but our release process is notoriously lengthy, fraught with problems, and badly documented. If this was any other project, we'd have had a well-oiled release process in place already years ago. Much of our extra release o
