(i'll commit a description.) the release management documentation needs a *lot* of work and i think it best to stay focussed just on the distribution upload part for this thread, it would be very easy for this discussion to spiral out of control. i'm not working on the rest so feel free to pick out some other sections and push them forward. alternativelty, if you feel to state this explicitly then change either apache, infra or incubator policy > where we have www.apache.org/dist/incubator/podling - we want "podling" > to be italicized (or {bracketed}?) yeh - i couldn't decide which way was best or whether it should be done at all :-) probably best to choose one and then change all instances [ ] www.apache.org/dist/incubator/podling [ ] www.apache.org/dist/incubator/podling [ ] www.apache.org/dist/incubator/{podling} > spelling out that http://archive.apache.org/dist location would be nice. where?
