[...] I'll have a look at CRUNCH-16 if someone tells me which Hadoop version we're going to use. There's also the issue of fixing Scrunch's namespace. Apart from these issues we need: * Work through Apache and Incubator release guidelines * Write a release guide for Crunch * Set up a distribution directory with a KEYS file * Decide on a branching model and document it * Configure the POM to * create a source distribution * make release via maven-release-plugin possible * make deployment to Nexus possible * Nominate a release manager Being able to publish the website is probably also a good idea (see INFRA-5092). I think writing an Apache-compliant release guide will be the most time consuming task. Regards, Matthias
