Releases from the incubator are fine. The release needs to say "in
incubation" somehow, and the Incubator PPMC has the final say on it
(release is technically by the incubator PPMC).
Process to do so (I think):
1) Release manager (RM) tags said release candidate
2) RM builds binaries, signs em, and makes them available to the
incubator PPMC. This is *not* a release and should not be publicized
as such.
3) Start vote for release on incubator list.

nb: I personally feel that putting binaries together rather than
voting to release based on the tag is not a good approach, but "you
vote on binaries" has been established somewhere in the past for the
incubator, I am pretty sure.

for this,
and since we have to coordinate JPOX releases to match it, I'll ask
again ...
Can we please have the Apache JDO jar released somewhere so that
people can
download it ? By all means mark it with a date, or SNAPSHOT, or
USE_THIS_AT_YOUR_OWN_RISK, but please release it somewhere.
Any Apache person prepared to venture an estimate when this can be
done ? It's
been an Action Item on the minutes of the TCK minutes since May.
