Re: [DotGNU]Comments Wanted: Release Check List

[Robert Johnson]

I would like to become part of the release process for
the Win32 binaries. I have taken a look at the
checklist draft of the release process and I have a
question. Do you think that the release process for
windows builds should follow the same kind of schema
as the process for Portable.Net source release? I must
admit that I have not had a lot of experience working
in a open source development environment but I am
eager to help in any way I can to the project.

I also would just like to say that I hope that my
building the Win32 pnet/treecc binaries and packaging
them has not hurt the development process of the
project. 

When you have chance let me know if it is possible to
become involved in the Win32 binary release process.

Thanks

Bob J
