Thanks Sarah! This is really helpful stuff. I'll try to work on it this week while it's still fresh in my mind. Sent from my phone.

Hi all,

Thanks for all of your work on the release today! I'm glad to know what the process looks like.

Here are a few notes on today while the thoughts were still fresh in my head. Syd can feel to jump in with anything else. Hopefully, this will be useful for refining the process in the future:

* Following the document's instructions under "1-2 weeks before release" would have been incredibly useful, so I apologize for not being on top of that! This is an aspect of the release it would be worth emphasizing for upcoming releases. * Some more detailed language on the relationship between git branches and Jenkins in TCW22 would have been helpful for me as a newcomer (nothing exhaustive; just some info on which builds you should be worried about at which point) * Other than the issue of circular dependencies, no hitches on 1-8, 10-15 that wouldn't have been fixed by my first point * TCW22 should be rewritten to expand upon instructions for stylesheets (particularly point #9). A lot of this will be duplicating information from pre-existing points. * I have no idea what happened with oXygen (step #17), but I'd love to hear more about it at some point

* A few points that could afford to be languaged a bit: * #8 - particularly the parenthetical section * #14 - just to say that the package from Jenkins should be uploaded *not* included as a link in the the release notes (both options were used in the last two releases, but following the links provided to http://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/P5/tei-3.1.0..., for example, gives you a 404 error)

This is all rather specific, in part because it seemed that things went smoothly overall.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you all again for everything today!
