new release policy requires changes on Derby site
The new ASF release policy
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html
means that the Derby download page needs to remove two sections,
Nightly Builds and Snapshot Jars
http://db.apache.org/derby/derby_downloads.html

I'll take care of this and put the current snapshots in my public_html
if anyone wants them.

Incubator releases are not official Apache releases.

ok, I removed the "Nightly Builds" and "Snapshot Jars" sections from the
downloads page, and I removed the snapshots from the binaries directory.
Changes will be visible within the hour.

Since you've already the website going, I'll let you take care of that.

I'm updating the web site links to comply with the "Do not include any
links on the project website that might encourage non-developers to
download and use nightly builds, snapshots, release candidates, or any
other similar package." guideline.
The snapshots need to be moved from the binaries directory of the web
site. They are all 10.1 and 10.2 -- are they needed? or can they just be
removed?

also it looks like the snapshots themselves need to be moved: "Software
should not be distributed from project websites."

Or maybe just rename the "Previous Official Releases" section to "Archive"?

In that case, I think the incubator release could be removed from the
current download page.
Also like many other Apache projects, we can have a separate section
called 'Archive' and the older releases like 10.1.1.0 and
10.1.2.1 can be moved there.
I am all for making the download page as simple as possible.

An incubator release isn't an official asf release, so it can't move to
the previous official releases section.
Does that incubator release need to remain available for download?

I was also wondering if there still exist any need for the section on
Incubator releases. Can't this be moved to the
Previous Official Releases ?
