Hi, The release candidate validation checklist needs to be easy to modify by SystemML committers/contributors. As a result, it should probably take a 'Wiki' form. This raises the question of where it should go? Seems like the options are:
1) md file in the project itself (not a wiki, not easy to modify) 2) GitHub project wiki 3) Apache Confluence I started off by creating an release validation checklist md file in the project at docs/. The formatting of this looks good but this is too difficult to modify. Here's a temporary example: http://deroneriksson.github.io/incubator-systemml/release-process.html#release-candidate-checklist So, next I took the above content and uploaded it as a personal Gist page. The formatting doesn't look that great, and this is how it would probably look on the SystemML GitHub wiki if it's publicly open (I don't have access to the GitHub project settings to do this): https://gist.github.com/deroneriksson/3c75abd5bfc629a3d4c15da420f86e3f It occurred to me that most Apache projects have Confluence Wikis (for example, see https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SPARK/Wiki+Homepage). Perhaps Apache Confluence would be the best location? However, I don't believe we have a Confluence Wiki yet. Luciano, would we post a JIRA to infra to get a Confluence Wiki for the project? I think I would favor #3, but I don't want it to prolong the release process. Anyone have any opinions or advice? We could even handle this on the mailing list for now. Thanks, Deron
