On this topic... I've been looking at the release stuff and decided  
to just go for it...

For this initial RC1 for version 4.0.0 I decided to go with the tag  
route and we'll do a branch later when we're ready to do a final  
release. The "tag" in this case is just an svn "soft" tag, ie the  
implicit tag from the revision number (see the REVISION) file in the  
archive. A real tag in SVN is pretty much the same as a branch and I  
think is a little heavier than what we need for this.

Before moving on to the next step we need to review this among  
ourselves. Here is a list of things that I can think of that we need  
review in this:

1. test un-archive and run as-is (should only require JDK installed)
2. identify and show-stopper bugs that we should fix before a real RC
3. check all ASF required files (NOTICE, LICENSE, KEYS, etc) and headers
4. check PGP and MD5 files
5. anything else?

Anyone who feels comfortable looking at these things, please do and  
comment as needed!

The files are posted for initial review as attachments on the  
docs.ofbiz.org site to this page:

Thanks in to everyone for your help getting to this point, and of  
course your help reviewing this so we can move to the next step!
