Release TODO list

• Solr index format upgrade from 1.6,1.7,1.8 to 5 currently requires manual, undocumented steps (see below). 2 options:
  
  1. We automate it
  2. We document it

• Jira

  Seems like we have 2 options:
  
  1. put Tomcat-specific code to JSPUI's web.xml
  2. just document this Tomcat 7-specific warning
     On DevMtg 2014-11-05 we decided to document for RC1 and decide before RC2
