> The release checklist is pretty long. To facilitate releases, we should see what can be optimized / cut.
> Ideas:
> - Drop (most) binary ZIP releases and only offer source, Maven and for the Java SDK / Ruta the Eclipse update site:
> -- Rationale: The binary ZIPs use separate LICENSE/NOTICE files which need to be checked/maintained - and this cannot be easily done automatically
> - Integrate RELEASE_NOTES.html into the README file
> -- Rationale: one less file to update
> - Have a README.md or README.asciidoc file instead of a plain text file
> -- Rationale: looks better in GitHub
> - Reduce instances of the version string in the README file
> -- Rationale: less chance to miss a version string when preparing a release
