Hi,
+1 on the stages of the process, with the mention that it should be done in
less then 5 days.
-0 on finalizing/announcing the release on Friday. IMHO it's worst day to
release(lower visibility, low user traction, offline xwiki personnel during
the days following the release).
Thanks,
Florin Ciubotaru

Hi devs,
I don't think that Monday is a good day for releases, since voting over
the weekend is not a good thing. Thus, I propose to move the general
release day to the Thursday of the week. The current release process
doesn't really follow the VOTE rules, since the way it's done is: send
vote mail at 10AM, wait a few hours, start the release around 1PM. The
rule for VOTE emails is to wait for three days.
Thus:
- Send release VOTE on Monday
- Prepare the release during the following three days (release plan,
release notes)
- Perform the maven release on Thursday, request tests for publishing
the release (testing of the build)
- Finalize the release on Friday (download, announcements, version update)
