So, we've finally graduated and mostly migrated out of the incubator.  We can 
now start the process of making our first *official* ASF release!  (The 
previous ones had a disclaimer that they were not fully endorsed by ASF since 
we were still in the incubator.)

I created a release artifact based off of trunk.  I copied trunk to a tag
under the tags area of the repo that is named release-2.3-RC4:

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/vcl/tags/release-2.3-RC4/

(note that 'incubator/' has been dropped from the repo path)

The artifact is an export from that tag with the addition of Dojo Toolkit
version 1.6.1 with a custom VCL profile bundled in the web code.  The
artifact, MD5 and SHA1 sums, and my GPG signature of it are available from my
space on people.a.o:

http://people.apache.org/~jfthomps/apache-VCL-2.3-RC4/

(no more -incubating at the end!)

The list of resolved JIRA issues associated with this release can be found
under Change Log on the VCL 2.3 release page:

https://cwiki.apache.org/VCL/vcl-23.html#VCL2.3-ChangeLog

Installation instructions are on the Confluence site and in the INSTALLATION
file included in the artifact.

I tested doing an install and several parts of the website, including doing a 
few deploys.

The directory created by extracting the RC4 artifact is "apache-VCL-2.3-RC4" 
(after extracting, you may want to rename it to "apache-VCL-2.3" so you can 
copy and paste all of the commands in the installation guide).  Licensing 
information about perl and its required modules, php and its required modules, 
and mysql are stated as "system requirements" according to the information 
under "System Requirements" on http://www.apache.org/legal/3party.html.

Please vote by the 4pm EST on Friday, July 20th to publish this release (this 
allows for 3 business days to vote).  Please note that anyone in the VCL 
community is allowed to vote.  I'll close the vote Friday afternoon (assuming 
I don't have to cancel it for another bug...).  At that point, we'll be ready 
to release it!  As a TLP, we no longer need to submit our vote to another 
group.  Yay for graduating!

+1 yes, release VCL 2.3
 0 dunno
- -1 no, don't release VCL 2.3 (provide reasons if this is your vote)
