 Release tasks
 -------------
 
-In no particular order:
-
-* Choose a version number.
-
-* Ensure __init__ has that version.
-
-* Add a version number to NEWS immediately below NEXT.
-
-* Possibly write a blurb into NEWS.
-
-* Replace any additional references to NEXT with the version being released.
-  (should be none).
-
-* Create a source distribution and upload to pypi ('make release').
-
-* Upload to Launchpad as well.
-
-* If a new series has been created (e.g. 0.10.0), make the series on Launchpad.
-
-* Merge or push the release branch to trunk.
-
-* Make a new milestone for the *next release*. We don't really know how we want
-  to handle these yet, so this is a suggestion not actual practice:
-
-  * during release we rename NEXT to $version.
-
-  * we call new milestones NEXT.
