Hi,

> Maybe this is a bit stupid question but how should I check TourDeFlex?

The usual process is:
- check hashes and signatures
- check LICENSE and NOTICE
- check README and RELEASE_NOTES
- check that all source files has Apache headers (with Apache rat)
- check there's no binary files (other than images, fonts etc) in the source 
release (rat can also do some of this)
- check you can compile from source
- check that it works

These links should help [1][2]. But there are other things you can check, or 
even just check a sub set of above, it's really up to you. Nice to list what 
you checked and what platform you were on when voting. Given that a few 
examples have been fixed and there a few new features (listed in the VOTE 
email) that would be a good place to start.

BTW it takes about 20-25 minutes to compile the 300 odd examples.

Only PMC votes are binding but votes from committers and users are welcome and 
quite often very useful, plus you'll get added to the CONTRIBUTORS file if you 
test it out and vote.

Thanks,
Justin
