[xwiki-devs] Improvement to release process - Idea

I think we need to test a new version in real before we release it. This will allow reducing the bugs we find. I propose we add the strategy of deploying a candidate release on xwiki.org first and play with it for 1 or 2 days before we release new version. This should allow us to validate that existing installs can be migrated to the new version as this is something we are currently not checking (since our build creates a new version from scratch). WDYT? If you're ok I'll add it to the release notes and we'll need to get Raffaello's help for this. Maybe we could stage xwiki.org and xwiki.com on a separate machine by copying the existing DBs to try them out rather than using the real system?
