: I believe that the release guide wiki page that Peter started at
: <http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/ReleaseGuide> is now feature-complete and ready
: for either review or use.

My one comment is that while i'm certain each release will contain README
files and documentation on how to "use" Lucy, it would be helpful if there
were more docs on how to "verify" that a Lucy release "looks good" --
things that people would do during the "Perform whatever quality control
seems prudent on the .tar.gz file" step if they are the RM, and during the
"Call a release vote on the dev list" if you are a PPMC or IPMC member.
i think it makes total sense for this to be a distinct wiki page from the
ReleaseGuide (ReleseVerificationChecklist maybe?) becuase the burden
shouldn't be on the release manager to verify everything; and it makes
sense to be brief about the things that generally need checked for all
apache releases (license files, pgp/md5 sigs check out, etc...) but
anything Lucyd specific ("run the unit tests like so...", "build and test
the CPAN artifacts like so...", etc...) would be good list to have on the
wiki.
