I recommend there should be single-file (e.g., Zip) distributions, just like all other binaries. That gives just one thing to download. The MD5, SHA512, and ASC signatures should be on the whole package and stay in the dev/ and release/ folders, just as they are on download pages. (The ASC signatures on the individual library-file binaries should be inside the package.) I suspect, on the dev/ side, we might need copies of the READMEs alongside the archives, and revised more regularly, so they can be reviewed and revised easily as we get QA and trial use. When we move over to release/ we might want to do the same, even though the README is in the archive, so that people can read it without downloading the package. Finally, please use README.txt, etc., so that line-ending adjustments will happen properly when folks move these in and out of SVN and also out of archive files. This will also help browsers when folks retrieve these directly from the repository. PS: If we are concerned about the README.txt outside of the archive being authenticated, it can have an embedded PGP signature. (Then the final archive-internal one would be a copy of the signed README.txt -- no biggie, nice chain of custody).
