Quim and the marketing team are in the process of putting together release notes for 2.16, and they would like some help writing a press release and a cohesive overview. He mentioned it in his blog today, and asked me to forward this information to the doc team so those of you that don't read Planet GNOME will be aware of it.
His blog entry can be found here: http://desdeamericaconamor.org/blog/node/290 This is an excerpt, his request for assistance from writers: "Writers: Help convert the data in interesting and comprehensible stuff. We are going to write the drafts in the wiki. Those of you with experience writing for the media concentrate on the 2.16 main page, that will serve as press release as well." The wiki page being used for the release notes can be found here: http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointFifteen/ReleaseNotes On a peripherally related issue, I also want to write my own review of 2.16 for Ars Technica because I think that external press coverage is a good way to broaden public exposure to GNOME. If somebody out there can point me in the direction of a way to get 2.16 running before the actual release, it would be greatly appreciated. I really don't have the time or patience to build the whole thing from source. I'm thinking about something along the lines of a vmware image or a Live CD.
