Hello All:

In the past, I've have felt (disgusted is too strong a word) discouraged
from releasing often by the our release process, and it's a 'process' all
right. First, I had started to follow:

https://commons.apache.org/releases/index.html

but finding it inadequate, I followed and updated:

https://wiki.apache.org/commons/UsingNexus

such that I needed little and then no additional personal cookbook.

Now that we have a new publication process, all of these need updating
again, or preferably consolidating into one.

I've given on hope of a truly simple release process so let's move on from
that.

Can folks who have recently released please update the docs such that it
reflects the real world?

Thank you,
Gary
