[Zope3-dev] Automated egg releases

[Jim Fulton]

I'm not too keen on trying to automate this with a Python script.  I  
suggest we start with a human script.  I think Philipp has a start at  
this.  Philipp, could you remind
us where this is?  I suggest we review it and then post it  
prominately somewhere that people (I) can easily find it.  I, for  
one, promise to read it every time I make a release until I've  
memorized it.
