[ jEdit-users ] Handing off jEdit development, part 2

[Slava P. <sl...@je...>]

Hi all,

A few months ago I posted an e-mail about setting up a new jEdit core 
development team. There has been some interest, and now a handful people 
(most notably Alan Ezust) are hacking on the core jEdit code.

Now the next stage would be for a new release to be co-ordinated; jEdit 
4.3pre3 is long overdue. Is anybody interested in taking over jEdit 
release engineering? Basically it involves a few tasks:

- ensuring changelog is up to date
- ensuring there are no showstopper bugs, and all claimed fixes work
- ensuring code compiles, documentation is up to date, documentation 
compiles (HTML and PDF)
- configuring the jEdit installer (this is pretty easy and I'll help 
people figure out how to work it)
- creating the installer and source package and making sure they contain 
the correct set of files, and that the installer works
- uploading packages to SourceForge
- updating the web site
