(we've got quite a bit of good new stuff and we'll probably be wanting a release sometime soonish.)
I'll put my hand up. I'm free this evening (apart from looking at all the new substitution stuff, and Jeanfrancois' schema patch).
great :)
I presume this is the newsletter whose wiki page is here:
http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?ApacheNewsletterDrafts/ Issue3
yep
It would be nice to be able to review a "changelog" to base the newletter stuff on.
yes, it would be nice.
what's worked well (for other components i've been involved with) is to keep a record of work done when it's done. if it's dated, then it's easy to use it as a basis for the newsletter.
Is that easily available (other than "cvs diff -r DIGESTER_1_5")?
if you keep your emails, you could probably extract the information from the cvs commits. not sure if it's any easier.
Would it be worth compiling a draft release notes at the same time?
not really. creating release notes from the diff is one of the chores associated with acting as release manager. i don't see any purpose in two people having to do it. (i'd need to go through and check every entry.)
The release is looking good too - I think we're pretty close to ticking off everything on the list that was circulated before.
cool.
