+How to do a Nemiver release
+
+* Make sure configure.ac has the right version variables set
+ - These are MAJOR_VERSION, MINOR_VERSION, MICRO_VERSION and the version part of
+  the AC_INIT macro invocation.  Normally these should have been
+  already set, but you never know.
+ - Commit this.
+
+* Update the NEWS file:
+ - Run git shortlog <nemiver-last-tag-name>..HEAD
+   This gives the list of changes by author. Prepend it to the NEWS
+   file and edit the new entries to make them comply with the rest of
+   the NEW items.  Also remove the redundant and not meaningful
+   entries.
+ - Commit this.
+
+* Update the ChangeLog
+ - Run make update-changelog.  This augments the ChangeLog file with
+   information coming from the new commits that happened since the
+   last time this command was run.
+ - Commit this
+
+* Run make release
+ - This will tag the release, generate a tarball, and copy it to the gnome machine.
+ - Connect to the gnome machine and run udpate-module <tarball>
+ - Copy the announcement template text pasted on the terminal, amend
+   it and sent the announcement to nemiver-list gnome org,
+   gnome-announce-list gnome org and gnome-devtools gnome org 
+ - Update the nemiver website for the new release.  It's in the git
+   repository git.gnome.org/git/gnomeweb-wml.
