As I’ve mentioned to some of you over the past couple of weeks, I want to propose that we don’t “release” the Ref Guide at all the way we have been doing it.
It deserves a separate thread, which since it’s come up a few times this week I should start now, but in essence, my idea is to no longer treat the PDF as a release artifact that requires a vote, and publish the HTML as our primary version of the Ref Guide in effectively the same way we publish the javadocs (at the same time as the binary artifacts). Instead of highjacking this thread with that discussion since it has several aspects, let me send another mail on it where I can flesh it out more and we can discuss there. I have the mail mostly queued up and ready to go already.
