Good idea Paul...I like the date time string idea.

what
they contain otherwise this will get confusing. My suggestion is that the
name be:
geronimo-jetty-1.0-rc[n].tar.gz for example. Where [n] is the number of
the
release candidate (and we are now on number 2). The next set of images
should
follow this convention to ensure we are not confusing the users. I know
these
are release candidates and this isn't required but it would make me sleep

at night :) The directory that is actually contained in the zip will
still be
geronimo-1.0. Thoughts?
Matt, including a notation in the filename seems like a good idea and could
help prevent confusion. I've also seen projects use a date string instead
of a release candidate number for this purpose. Using a date string is
helpful since it makes it obvious when the image was created plus avoids
publicizing how many unsuccessful attempts there have been (not saying that
would be an issue in this case :o)
Best wishes,
Paul
