I agree, sounds like a good idea. I think Dave was planning on automatically pointing the installer at relnotes/[release]/[platform]/[build] While platform and build are covered for the dev releases, I'm not sure what the value of 'release' should be. I'll see if i can follow up with Dave about what he thinks might be a good idea here. > * Glynn also working on a What's New document for 2008.11. This is > *not* on Live CD.

So I should clarify the first - the actual document isn't on the LiveCD, but a link to it will be (in the 'Start Here' dialog). Definitely keen to have some input into the cool things that people feel should be included. > *Versioning wiki docs - part deux* > * Based on conversation and long discussion that ensued, which > largely dealt with how to handle any issues that show up in the > static document, we agreed on the following proposal: > o We use in-house tools to produce static, .com branded > versions of wiki docs. > o The wiki doc continues to be a live document reflecting > changes in development and any other updates. > o If there is a P1 level bug against the static, .com branded > document, we address it, editing directly in the html if > necessary. I think that sounds like a decent proposal - hopefully the issues resulting from 2008.11 won't be as great an impact as some of them did for 2008.05. > *Wiki collaboration model* > * At end of discussion, arrived at following proposal for wiki > collaboration: > o We have an open editing policy and registered community > members can edit pages. > o Each wiki doc has a moderator who's role is > + Watch pages for updates > + Work with contributors to help with consistency of > style, clarity, etc. > + Remove anything inappropriate I think this is a good solution too - reducing the barrier to entry is going to get a lot of people more likely to contribute and see direct results of their contribution. > Glynn
