-<div class=Section1>
+     <p>
+  			Unstructured Information Management applications are
+				software systems that analyze large volumes of
+				unstructured information in order to discover knowledge
+				that is relevant to an end user. UIMA is a framework and
+				SDK for developing such applications. An example UIM
+				application might ingest plain text and identify
+				entities, such as persons, places, organizations; or
+				relations, such as works-for or located-at. UIMA enables
+				such an application to be decomposed into components,
+				for example "language identification" -&gt; "language
+				specific segmentation" -&gt; "sentence boundary
+				detection" -&gt; "entity detection (person/place names
+				etc.)". Each component must implement interfaces defined
+				by the framework and must provide self-describing
+				metadata via XML descriptor files. The framework manages
+				these components and the data flow between them.
+				Components are written in Java or C++; the data that
+				flows between components is designed for efficient
+				mapping between these languages. UIMA additionally
+				provides capabilities to wrap components as network
+				services, and can scale to very large volumes by
+				replicating processing pipelines over a cluster of
+				networked nodes.
+			</p>
+      <p>
+				Apache UIMA is an Apache-licensed open source
+				implementation of the UIMA specification (that
+				specification is, in turn, being developed concurrently
+				by a technical committee within
+				<a href="http://www.oasis-open.org">OASIS</a>,
+				a standards organization). We invite and encourage you
+				to participate in both the implementation and
+				specification efforts.
+			</p>
+      <p>
+				UIMA is a component framework for analysing unstructured
+				content such as text, audio and video. It comprises an
+				SDK and tooling for composing and running analytic
+				components written in Java and C++, with some support

-What is UIMA?</span></span></span></span></a></h2>
-
-<p>Unstructured Information Management applications are software systems that
-analyze large volumes of unstructured information in order to discover
-knowledge that is relevant to an end user. UIMA is a framework and SDK for
-developing such applications. An example UIM application might ingest plain
-text and identify entities, such as persons, places, organizations; or
-relations, such as works-for or located-at. UIMA enables such an application to
-be decomposed into components, for example &quot;language identification&quot;
--&gt; &quot;language specific segmentation&quot; -&gt; &quot;sentence boundary
-detection&quot; -&gt; &quot;entity detection (person/place names etc.)&quot;.
-Each component must implement interfaces defined by the framework and must
-provide self-describing metadata via XML descriptor files. The framework
-manages these components and the data flow between them. Components are written
-in Java or C++; the data that flows between components is designed for
-efficient mapping between these languages. UIMA additionally provides
-capabilities to wrap components as network services, and can scale to very
-large volumes by replicating processing pipelines over a cluster of networked
-nodes. </p>
-
-<p>Apache UIMA is an Apache-licensed open source implementation of the UIMA
-specification (that specification is, in turn, being developed concurrently by
-a technical committee within <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org"><u><span
-style='color:blue'>OASIS</span></u></a> , a standards organization). We invite
-and encourage you to participate in both the implementation and specification
-efforts. </p>
-
-<p>UIMA is a component framework for analysing unstructured content such as
-text, audio and video. It comprises an SDK and tooling for composing and
-running analytic components written in Java and C++, with some support for
-Perl, Python and TCL. </p>

-Instructions for creating a uimacpp release or a new build
+Instructions for creating a uimacpp release
 
 
 For a new release
 
 1. create a tag for the new release, e.g.
-	svn copy https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/uimacpp/trunk https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/uimacpp/tags/uimacpp-X.Y.Z-rcN -m"create tag for X.Y.Z release"
-
-2. if changes are needed, update trunk. Create a new tag when ready to release.
+	use the github webpage to create a new branch named rc/uimacpp-X.Y.Z
+2. follow "new build" instructions below and update branch if needed. Iterate until clean.
+3. create a new tag when ready to release.
+4. sign release artifacts
+5. copy signed release artifacts to staging spot
+6. get successful release vote
+7. releasing: see http://uima.apache.org/release.html
 
 
 For a new build on Linux
 
-1. create new directory for release candidate and cd there
-	mkdir uimacpp-X.Y.Z-build
-	cd uimacpp-X.Y.Z-build
+0. confirm that prerequisite tools for automake and doxygen are installed.
 
-2. checkout source from the tag
-	svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/uima/uimacpp/tag/uimacpp-X.Y.Z
+1. Make sure configure.ac has the desired package version numbers in AC_INIT and library version in LT_VERSION_NUMBER. Update source control if necessary.
+   Update the  library number by modifying LT_VERSION_NUMBER following the libtool version numbering convention. This is summarized on the wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=25201320

+2. Update RELEASE_NOTES.html with new Jira report from Jira website:
+   on jira web page, go to UIMA releases and select new release. For example:
+     https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/UIMA/versions/12346908
+   hit "Release Notes", replace Jira report section with new html text from webpage.
 
-4. Run autogen.sh to generate new configure script
-   check into svn the generated output files.
+3. checkout source from the tag and cd to that directory
+   	git clone -b rc/uimacpp-X.Y.Z https://github.com/apache/uima-uimacpp uimacpp-X.Y.Z-rc
