The "ReleaseGuide" page has been changed by MarvinHumphrey:
http://wiki.apache.org/lucy/ReleaseGuide?action=diff&rev1=31&rev2=32

Comment:
Rework preface, adding descriptions summarizing the ASF documents being linked to.

  = Preface =
  
- ''This page is prepared for Apache Lucy committers. You need committer rights to create a new Apache Lucy release.''
+ ''This page has been prepared for Apache Lucy committers. You need committer privileges to serve as Release Manager.''
  
- If this is your first time as a Release Manager, check out [[http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html]], from which this guide was largely distilled.  It's not necessary to follow every recommendation in that sprawling document, but it's important that you understand the issues involved.  If you have questions, ask on #lucy_dev or the dev list.
+ If this is your first time as a Release Manager, there are some materials you should peruse to familiarize yourself with ASF release conventions.
  
- Other relevant pages:
+  * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/release-publishing.html]] -- An overview of the release process.
+  * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html]] -- ASF release FAQ.
+  * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/release-signing.html]] -- ASF release signing policy.
+  * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/openpgp.html]] -- Guide to using OpenPGP at the ASF. 
+  * [[http://www.apache.org/dev/release-download-pages.html]] -- Guide to creating project download pages.  Ours is done, but this explains the rationale behind its content.
+  * Lastly, there is the Incubator release management documentation at [[http://incubator.apache.org/guides/releasemanagement.html]], from which this guide was largely distilled.  It's not necessary to follow every recommendation in this sprawling document, particularly the irrelevant Java-specific sections, but it's important that you understand the issues involved.  
  
+ If you have questions, ask on #lucy_dev or the dev list.
