+How to release a new version of SemanticScuttle
+===============================================
+
+0. Run unit tests and verify that all of them pass
+1. Update doc/ChangeLog
+2. Update doc/UPGRADE.txt
+3. Update version in data/templates/about.tpl.php,
+ build.xml and doc/README.txt
+4. Create a release zip file via the build script:
+ Just type "phing".
+5. Make a test installation from your zip file with a fresh
+ database. Register a user, add bookmarks etc.
+6. When all is fine, it's time to release.
+ The build script takes care for most of the
+ tasks.
+ Run "phing release", and it will upload the release to
+ sourceforge and create a svn tag.
+7. Write announcement mail to the SemanticScuttle mailing list
+ semanticscuttle-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+8. Announce the new release in the sourceforge project news
