I've added a README with an overview of the different distros and pointers to getting started docco, mailing lists, JIRA etc: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/cxf/dosgi/trunk/distribution/multi-bundle/src/main/release/README?view=markup I've also addressed your other concerns in these two commits: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=772157&view=rev http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=771670&view=rev So I think we should be good to go with a second cut at this release.
