+<h2 id="the-objective-what-to-validate-and-how-to-validate-a-release">The objective - What to validate and how to Validate a release</h2>
 <p>Our aim is to produce and official Apache release.<br />
 The following is a list of the sorts of things that will be validated:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Do the resulting artifacts have 'incubating' in the name?</li>
-<li>Is the LICENSE and NOTICE file present in the source root and complete?</li>
-<li>Is the DISCLAIMER present with the LICENSE and NOTICE?</li>
-<li>Is there a README available that explains how to build the application and to execute it?</li>
-<li>Are the signatures and hashes correct for the source release?</li>
-<li>Do all sources have necessary headers?</li>
-<li>Are there no unexpected binary files in the release?</li>
-<li>Can one compile and run the application with tests from the source bundle?</li>
+<li>Is the DISCLAIMER, LICENSE and NOTICE file present in the source root and complete?<ul>
+<li>Specifically look in the *-sources.zip artifact and ensure these items are present at the root of the archive.</li>
+<li>Here is an example path to a sources artifact:  https://repository.apache.org/service/local/repositories/orgapachenifi-1011/content/org/apache/nifi/nar-maven-plugin/0.0.1-incubating/nar-maven-plugin-0.0.1-incubating-source-release.zip</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Is there a README available that explains how to build the application and to execute it?<ul>
+<li>Look in the *-sources.zip artifact root for the readme.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Are the signatures and hashes correct for the source release?<ul>
+<li>Validate the hashes of the sources artifact do in fact match:</li>
+<li>https://repository.apache.org/service/local/repositories/orgapachenifi-1011/content/org/apache/nifi/nar-maven-plugin/0.0.1-incubating/nar-maven-plugin-0.0.1-incubating-source-release.zip.md5</li>

+<li>Validate the signatures of the sources artifact and of each of the hashes.  Here are example paths:</li>
+<li>https://repository.apache.org/service/local/repositories/orgapachenifi-1011/content/org/apache/nifi/nar-maven-plugin/0.0.1-incubating/nar-maven-plugin-0.0.1-incubating-source-release.zip.asc</li>

+<li>Need a quick reminder on how to <a href="http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html#verifying-signature">verify a signature</a>?</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Do all sources have necessary headers?<ul>
+<li>Unzip the sources file into a directory and execute <code>mvn install -Pcheck-licenses</code></li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Are there no unexpected binary files in the release?<ul>
+<li>The only thing we'd expect would be potentially test resources files.</li>
+</ul>
+</li>
+<li>Can one compile and run the application with tests from the source bundle?<ul>
+<li>Unzip the sources file into a directory and execute <code>mvn clean install</code></li>
+<li>Does the app (if appropriate) execute and function as expected?</li>
