Hi Les,
Great to hear that you're ready to "crack off" a release. You need to
decide:
Is this a final release or some early access or beta thing?
What tools will you use to create the release artifacts?
Will you release binaries or just sources (most Java projects release
both binary and source).
Who is going to be the release manager?
After you know what to release and who is going to create the release
artifacts, you can proceed to step 2: creating the release artifacts.
There are many examples of releases from incubation that you should
probably study and then volunteer to cut the release(s).
The first release of a podling is normally reviewed by a small number
of really dedicated volunteers who find many trivial-sounding problems
that in fact are very important. But whoever volunteers to be the
release manager should expect between two and five attempts before
passing muster for an official Apache incubating release.

We're working on it! :)
Seriously though - I think we can be code complete today. After that
is finished, I was going to ping the list to ask the Mentors how we go
about starting the voting process. Since we might be able to start
this tomorrow, could you fill us in a bit on how this works?
Thanks!

We've been at this for quite some time. I've been approached by
people
wondering when this is going to happen.
I think that a release would be a good idea. Thoughts?
