documenting the publishing process

Dear all,

I was wondering, with some of you (ie, the editors), what the best way is to use github plus the W3C pubrules checker together when a formal publication occurs. I have also consulted my colleagues who have more experience with that particular combination of tools, and I have come up with a process that seems to work relatively well. It is based on the idea that we would store 'snapshots' of publications on the github for future reference; it may also come handy later. 

I have documented the whole process on

https://github.com/w3c/csvw/blob/gh-pages/publishing_process.md

The current publication round essentially followed this route. The advantage is that you can also do part of the steps (if you are an editor), ie, if I am run over by a bus (it should not always be DanBri:-) then at least you can do some of what is needed...

Cheers

Ivan
