+# Policy on source versus distribution
+
+Apache Hamilton is an apache-incubating project. As such, we intend to follow 
all Apache guidelines to
+both the spirit (and when applicable) the letter.
+
+That said, there is occasional ambiguity. Thus we aim to clarify with a 
reasonable and consistently maintained
+approach. The question that we found most ambiguous when determining our 
release process is:
+1. What counts as source code, and should thus be included in the "sdist" (the 
source-only distribution)
+2. What should be included in the build?
+
+Specifically, we set the following guidelines:
+
+| | source (to vote on) -- tar.gz | sdist -- source used to build | whl file | 
Reasoning |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Build Scripts | Y | Y | N | Included in tar.gz and sdist as they are needed 
to reproduce the build, but not in the whl. These are only meant to be consumed 
by developers/pod members. |
+| Library Source code | Y | Y | Y | Core library source code is included in 
all three distributions: tar.gz, sdist, and whl. |
+| Tests (unit + plugin) | Y | Y | N | We expect users/PMC to download the 
source distribution, build from source, run the tests, and validate. Thus we 
include in the tar.gz and sdist, but not in the whl. |
+| READMEs | Y | Y | Y | Standard project metadata files (README.md, LICENSE, 
NOTICE, DISCLAIMER) are included in all three distributions. |
+| Documentation | Y | N | N | Documentation source is included in the tar.gz 
for voters to review, but not in the sdist or whl as it is not needed for 
building or using the package. |
+| Representative Examples | Y | Y | N | A curated set of examples are included 
in tar.gz and sdist so voters can verify Hamilton works end-to-end. Not in the 
whl as they serve as documentation/verification only. |
+| Other Examples | Y | N | N | These are included in the tar.gz for voters to 
review but not included in the sdist or whl. |
+
+# Packages
+
+Apache Hamilton consists of 5 independently versioned packages:
+
+| Package | Key | Working Directory | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `apache-hamilton` | `hamilton` | `.` | Core library (must be released first) 
|
+| `apache-hamilton-sdk` | `sdk` | `ui/sdk` | Tracking SDK |
+| `apache-hamilton-contrib` | `contrib` | `contrib` | Community dataflows |
+| `apache-hamilton-ui` | `ui` | `ui/backend` | Web UI server |
+| `apache-hamilton-lsp` | `lsp` | `dev_tools/language_server` | Language 
server |
+
+The core `apache-hamilton` package must be released first. The other four 
packages depend on it but not on each other.
+
+# Release Process
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+We recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) for Python environment 
management. It handles Python versions, virtual environments, and dependency 
installation in a single tool.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- `uv` ([install 
guide](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/))
+- `flit` for building
+- `twine` for package validation
+- GPG key configured for signing
+- Node.js + npm for UI builds (only needed for the `ui` package)
+- Apache RAT jar for license checking (optional, for verification)
+
+```bash
+# Install uv (if not already installed)
+curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
+
+# Create a virtual environment with build dependencies
+uv venv --python 3.11
+uv pip install flit twine

Review Comment:
   Perhaps uv sync with a "build-tools" group?
