Youch! Is Trustin the only one that saw a problem with this? Where is
the PMC? This is a big red flag.
Mike, I'm not trying to bust your keyboard but you really need to read this:
http://www.apache.org/dev/release.html
You probably just confused a nightly build or SNAPSHOT build with an ASF
(PMC) sanctioned release but please do *not* announce these things here
without going through the PMC.

I guess you are only responsible for a mistake when you know the rules :)
As Alex said, this is PMC to check that those rules are not broken...
Regarding 'snapshot', the best thing would be to use a continue build system
(continuum ?) so that the build is done every night, and store somwhere on
an apache repository.
Note that we have to do that for Directory project, too, so maybe we can
work on it together to avoid duplication of efforts...

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction Alex and you're correct
this is a SNAPSHOT, not any kind of release intended for the public at
large. In the future, is it appropriate for me to post snapshots to my
home directory and announce their availability or is there a different
process I should follow?
Sorry for the red flags.

sorry - my bad: i didn't realize that it was already in the MINA
sandbox (i'd assumed you had it locally)
in this case, alex is definitely 100% right: it's MINA code and
releases require approval from the PMC.

At this point, I can't say that I care where AIO has its home. I just
want something that's stable and something that will foster community
involvement. Apache Labs might be a good home for AIO. If there
aren't any objections to moving this project out of my MINA sandbox
and into Apache Labs, I'll do that. If we want to keep it as a
sub-project of MINA, I would like to formalize that.

there is a certain tradition of solo efforts being developed offshore
and posted to people.apache.org then announced to apache lists. people
have to be careful with the naming and IMHO mike sailed just the right
side of the wind.
but now we have the http://labs.apache.org/ and that's the right place
for efforts such as this. in the labs releases are not ok but tagged
milestones are.
mike - any objections to moving Asynchronous File I/O library to the labs?
(you'll probably need to submit a software grant for the code you've
already created)
