Release post-mortem
1. Site contamination, obviously….
2. Javadoc link management
3. Still some POM cleanup is needed. Especially around new shib-libs being undeclared in OIDC plugins.
4. PS to look into what is triggering FATAL Javadoc errors
Reworking the javadoc production process
1. Scott will file some issues on reworking our approach, including ending site publication
Process going forward for dependency management on minor branches
1. Much discussion, not a lot of conclusions at this point
2. Rod will address the commons-compress issue by bumping the version in the parent and unlocking the IdP to use the parent
