This is a vote to release our first official incubator release into the wild. The intent is to release Apache Wicket 1.3.0 beta1 to the general Wicket community. Most API breaks are in, and we expect no major changes in the final stages of this release.
With any release done inside the Apache Foundation, we should be very diligent and ensure the release is 'up to standards'. However, since this release is done under the umbrella of the Incubator and thrown out into the wild, it will be under considerable scrutiny. I therefore kindly request that you take extra time and check this release for any unresolved legal issues, quality and/or documentation issues. See [1] for the checklist as the Incubator PMC expects. I know this is not a space shuttle launch, but we will be investigated vigorously. A positive vote from the IPMC will bring us so much closer to graduation! Also, please check with the comments on our first release attempt to see if anything is missing. The goodies: ---------------- The distribution: http://people.apache.org/~dashorst/releases/apache-wicket-1.3.0-incubating-beta1/dist The maven 2 repository: http://people.apache.org/~dashorst/releases/apache-wicket-1.3.0-incubating-beta1/m2-repo/ The subversion tag: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wicket/releases/wicket-1.3.0-incubating-beta1/ The key used to sign this release: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wicket/common/KEYS The vote: [ ] Yes, ask the IPMC to ratify the 1.3.0-incubating-beta1 release [ ] No, don't ask the IPMC This vote will run for 72 hours and is by majority (PPMC members have binding votes, everybody is free to vote). It requires at least three binding +1 votes to pass.
