Hi everyone,

I started doing my very first release here at Apache and walked through
many pages of documentation in the past two days.
To be honest, somehow I was missing some kind of short description to do a
release like painting by numbers. :)
In the end, I realized that much of such a short release description I
desired can be taken from our wiki release guide, which is still mostly
valid:
http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html
I will update our Wiki after the release and come back with suggestions for
improvement on the incubation pages to John.

Our release candidate is ready as source directory:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating-RC1/
but somehow I am missing the ZIP version, I got on my disc on the Apache
server.
Do I need to use 'svn cp? Does anybody know were this is described in the
documentation?

BTW as result from my trial and error of the past two days I need to remove:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.2-incubating/
and
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/odf/tags/odftoolkit-0.6.3-incubating/
Does anyone know how to do this?

Aside of the missing ZIP, I am missing the Maven artifacts incluging an RC1.
I have already logged into the Nexus repository manager and closed the
staging repo, as described in our guide
<http://incubator.apache.org/odftoolkit/odftoolkit-release-guide.html> on
IV 4.
Shouldn't the RC show up in one of the Maven groups:
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/
like
https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/org/apache/odftoolkit/

Finally, I would like to add a new page for our release at:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ODFTOOLKIT/releases
Does a comitter need additional write access here?

I plan to put the missing information in our documentation afterwards
including suggest of improvements to John's guide.

Thankful for any help!
Svante
