I've also updated the wiki with the current 8u262 schedule, the proposed
schedule for 8u272 and 8u-specific advice on contributions:

https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/jdk8u/Main

Note that the day for build promotions is now officially Friday, which
represents the reality of what has tended to happen with recent ones
anyway. I think this better encapsulates each build promotion within the
working week and gives time for promotion and testing over the weekend.

It also means you get an extra couple of days before rampdown next
Friday :-)

Thanks,
