Cool, I'm happy to do the JIRA, release notes and testing and defer the rolling
of the distribution to yourself or someone else.

I'll start working on this today. I'll get a 2.0.11 release setup in JIRA and
start moving unresolved tickets there. I'll also work on the notes and begin
testing the apps.
