+Prerequisites/Setup:
+1. Create a GPG key. Review [the Maven guidelines on working
+with keys](http://central.sonatype.org/pages/working-with-pgp-signatures.html),
+2. Set up your environment (add it to keys).
+    a. Add the GPG key to the KEYS file.
+    b. Copy (or incorporate) the settings.xml file to ``~/.m2/settings.xml``
+       and add your GPG key and sonatype login. There is an example file in 
+       the scripts/release directory. 
+3. Obtain a sonatype login (request from the project manager).
+
+Release:
+1. Update the version in pom.xml.
+2. Run ``mvn -Prelease deploy`` from the schemas directory.
+3. From oss.sontaype.org#stagingRepositories, login and check the release just
+   uploaded. If good, use the close button above the repository list to make it
+   public. If there is a problem, the drop button can be used to delete the 
+   release.
+4. After the release is rsynced to the Maven Central repository, confirm
+   checksums match and verify signatures. Then press the release button.
+
+See http://central.sonatype.org/pages/releasing-the-deployment.html for details
+about releasing the deployment from sonatype.
