+Release Process
+===============
+Here's the process used to generate new releases for the API plugin.
+
+* Write changelog items for this release. Generate these automatically with the
+  following script:
+
+	SINCE=$1
+	if [[ -z $SINCE ]]; then
+		echo "usage: changelog <since>"
+		exit 1
+	fi
+
+	OUTPUT=$(git log $SINCE... --reverse --format="format:- %w(80,0,4)%B")
+	OUTPUT=$(echo "$OUTPUT" | awk -v nlines=2 "/^ *git-svn-id:/ {for (i=0; i<nlines; i++) {getline}; next} 1")
+	OUTPUT=$(echo "$OUTPUT" | grep -v "^$")
+
+	echo "$OUTPUT"
+
+* Bump version in plugin.php
+* Bump version in lib/class-wp-json-server.php
+* `gsocpush` (`alias gsocpush='git svn dcommit && git push'`)
+* `git tag -a 0.x` - Tag with a message like:
+
+	Version 0.x: Major Feature
+
+	Summary of the big features in this release.
+
+* Sync to plugin repo
