Maybe it's not apparent to you, but many people are just not going
to read the handbook from beginning to end (although I've tried),
and a recommendation to read it while in the middle of trying to get
something done is likely to be ignored.
I've already forgotten what the differences were between the "create
a release" page and the "create a review" page. At least one of
them allowed me to select any date after today. But to do a release
I need to complete a release review before then, and I need to
complete IP review before that, and the release review has to be
synchronized to twice a month. None of that was apparent on any of
the pages as I remember. Yes, maybe if I read the entire handbook I
would only use the creation pages in safe manner. If the pages
can't enforce these constraints for me, they should at least explain
the constraints so I can use the pages effectively.
So, explaining the synchronization requirements and the lead time
requirements on the creation pages would be a good start.
Thanks.

The "create a release" page includes a link
to the documentation (although it's an old link) with a
request that you "Please review the release cycle
documentation."
The "create a review" page only lets you select valid
review dates.
It's all captured in the handbook, which includes this
passage (along with a pretty complete overview of what's
required):
We schedule reviews
to conclude on the first and third Wednesdays of the
month. Your release date does not have to coincide with
the review date (you can set the release date as
necessary). The review must, however, conclude
successfully before you can make the release official.
What, specifically, would like to see added or changed?
HTH,
Wayne
I'm still learning
about all the timing requirements related to these release
reviews. When I submitted my recent release reviews, it
only said I needed to allow one week for community review.
It didn't say anything about needing to synchronize with
some twice monthly event.
It also wanted another week for IP review, but that wasn't
apparent until after I submitted the release review.
Can someone summarize the actual requirements, and maybe get
them added to the release review creation page where it asks
you to supply a date?
Thanks.

Another
bit of advice... Currently, the Eclipse Release Reviews
are only on the first and third Wednesdays of the
month. That means, Nov 7 and 21. Very few projects
will be ready by the 7th, so that means a huge backlog
of release reviews on the 21st... Unless... I seem to
remember Wayne possibly proposing some additional
release reviews during this initial hectic time period.
Wayne, any thoughts on that idea? With the push to be
done by the end of the month, there's going to be a ton
of release reviews requested this month.

Yes. The release content should be in a
"release candidate" form prior to engaging in the
release review.

Hi,
According to GlassFish 5.1 release plan each project has to pass the release review
before Nov 30th. In order to meet this deadline I am
strongly suggesting initiating the release review
process as soon as possible.
Release review how-to guide is a part
of this article. Please update Release Review Tracker page when the review is initiated or
completed .
Thanks,
Dmitry
