Chip,

I take it that the official version number we will be advertising will be
4.0.0.beta6?

What will the next version number be? Have we agreed on a versioning number
scheme? (I mentioned SemVer a few times and people seemed to like it.) Not
that we have to use that, but it would be a good idea to have a clear
picture in our mind about how we're planning to increment it. And I think
we should document that in some nominal form. I also notice the "4.0" in
the URL. Should that not be "4.0.0.beta6"?

The above is just my opinion. But I do have some process things to bring up:

1. Who is the actual release manager for the 4.0 release? I think that
person should be the person to prepare the source artefacts and the person
to call the vote. I am not comfortable with the one person preparing the
artefacts and another person calling a vote on them. The vote is a personal
statement about the readiness of a release artefact. Like they say at
airport security, "did you pack these bags yourself?"

2. Has the release manager read through the release guide:
http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html (It is long, and
there are many parts that seem confusing. I am MORE than happy to answer
questions and work out any problems with someone.)

3. It might be a good idea to structure your personal dist directory like
the actual dist directory, for practice and consistency, if nothing else.
See http://people.apache.org/~nslater/dist/ for an example.

Thanks!
