Please do not @mention anyone in the commit message -- that's what the PR description and comments are for. Every time a commit is shuffled through github (in a merge in some fork, say), every @mention results in an email to that person (the core team treats them as personal email, straight to their inbox, so please don't flood us :-)).

+### Tips & Tricks
+Once the `publish-core` task has completed on a commit, you can try it out in sbt as follows:
+
+```
+$ sbt
+
+> set resolvers += "pr" at "http://private-repo.typesafe.com/typesafe/scala-pr-validation-snapshots/"
+> set scalaVersion := "<milestone>-<sha7>-SNAPSHOT"
+> console
+```
+
+Here, `<milestone>` is the milestone targeted by the PR (e.g., 2.11.6), and `<sha7>` is the 7-character sha (the format used by GitHub on the web).
