I created the place to put our 'snapshots'. I'm calling them snapshots rather than releases because that seems more appropriate.

So the guidelines:

------------------

1) Place a README.txt in the root of each snapshot that says :

This is a snapshot distribution of the Apache Harmony project.
Apache Harmony is an effort undergoing incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.


2) Have instructions for generating the snapshot. It would be best if it was an ant or maven script so there's no manual phases.

3) Copy the completed snapshot in tar and zip form, with md5 sum for each, to minotaur.apache.org. Then copy to

     /www/cvs.apache.org/dist/incubator/harmony/snapshots/

4) Post a note to the dev list when this has been completed so we have some institutional memory of this happening.

----------------------

Comments appreciated.

I'll add this to our website today - I wanted to create a documentation area, so this will be a good start.

I'll also notify the incubator PMC that we are doing this.
