+
+Sounds good to me. Not that my tree is much ahead of the trunk at the
+moment. We've talked over most of these issues a few times, so I'll
+just summarize where I think we stand on the steps needed to make a
+release.
+
+** cfbe integration
+
+Postpone until we work out bzr/hg versioning [1]?
+
+** Conventional version number
+
+Set to "1.0.0" using libbe.version._VERSION.
+
+** NEWS file
+
+Depending on our level of masochism, either something starting out
+along the lines of [2]
+ bzr log --gnu-changelog -n1 -r 200..
+(commit 200, or
+ aaron.bentley@utoronto.ca-20060411035623-9b8d222282a26ce1
+ was the last time anyone touched the NEWS file),
+or a much abbreviated entry [3,4], along the lines of my current NEWS
+file (changed just a few minutes ago).
+
+** Tag bzr commit
+
+ bzr tag 1.0.0
+
+** Create tarball
+
+From Ben[5]:
+ bzr export /tmp/be-1.0.0.tar.gz
