When preparing a release we will use this checklist.

== General checks ==

 - All checks have to be done using '''Internet Explorer''', '''Chrome''' and '''Firefox'''.
 - '''Version number''' of the release has been updated.
 - Check content of '''sample metadata & data''':
	- Should contain proper thumbnails.
	- online resources should contain 1 sample data file.
	- 1 sample web map service.
	- 1 sample WMS server (to show Capabilities).
	- 1 Web Map Context document.
 - '''Update''' strings in English and synchronize the other '''language files'''. Here's a description of a function that can assist with this process. [wiki:synch_lang Synchronize language files]
 - Check the links provided on the '''links page'''.
 - Check the '''help and search instructions''' to be in line with application.
 - Test import & export of '''MEF files''' for the generated examples.

== Installation ==

 - '''Installation instructions''' should be correct.
 - Installer will insert sample metadata if selected.
 - Installer should create '''shortcuts on Windows''', including those to the user documentation.
 - Clear instruction how to change admin password.

== Search ==

 - Navigation between search, results and full metadata.
 - Use of interactive maps.
 - Check remote search.
 - Check keyword search.

== Editing ==

 - Test iso19139 metadata editor:
	- make sure online resource sub templates for download, web map service, web link & web map context are available.
	- check working of the thesaurus to add keywords.
 - Test FGDC & DC templates and editing.

== Administration ==

 - '''Administrative services have to work on IE, Chrome and Firefox''' as the minimal requirement.
 - Check each of the available services '''filling out''' all as well as the minimum '''details''' in the different forms (e.g. address in contact details etc.).
 - Check the different '''harvesting''' methods that have been implemented (and hide those that have not yet been implemented or have severe problems).
