I'm uncertain between Beta and GA on this one, the issue with the
release process worries me, but it might be considered an internal matter.

+1 Beta

a side question: the download from the tiles.apache.org page will only
ever be to the tiles bundle correct? (since it will include
tiles-autotag and tiles-request in it). That is if you want to download
tiles-request or tiles-autotag you'll need to the respecting project
front page - this makes sense to me so to avoid confusing "normal" tiles
users.

The downloads are the zip/tar.gz assemblies that you can see here:
http://people.apache.org/builds/tiles/. They include all dependencies.

There is a complete tiles-3.0.0 bundle and a tiles-request-1.0.0 bundle
for people who do not want the full tiles (it helps demonstrate that
tiles-request can be used without tiles). There is no bundle for
autotag; since it is a maven plugin, the maven repository should be enough.

So far, all downloads for all versions have been available only from the
http://tiles.apache.org/download.html. Should we change that?

So, ignore that question I asked on the vote thread. I didn't pay
attention to the fact that it's being discussed here.

The more I think about it the more I think autotag should have a
downloadable source distro. I don't think we consider jars deployed to
a Maven repository to be official Apache release. I think we would
need to have a buildable source artifact downloadable from our dist
area - partly because autotag is more than a maven plugin - it's a
dependency from the tiles-request package.

I don't see it as a blocker for this release, but I'd like to see it
in a future one.

I'd be willing to go GA, but the source dist is not really buildable
until the autotag release is available. Sure you can download the test
build, but let's just wait till autotag is GA, then we can promote
this one if we like.

You're right, I was focused on the binary distro, and forgot about the
source one.
Thanks for pointing that out.
