>From your message, it seems that you have come to a conclusion that is not accurate...there is no interest in a proper Release Notes document. I'm definitely interested in such a thing, and in something about Nepomuk especially. You can see my interest and support in the Dot article I wrote: http://dot.kde.org/2011/09/21/nepomuk-stability-and-performance That article was done as most things in KDE are accomplished. Someone has a good idea and they implement it. They don't just suggest good ideas for other people to implement. Your idea would probably be valuable to many people...users, developers, people who are interested in KDE. There may be Release Documentation somewhere, but I don't know where it is. I know about Release Schedules, Release Plans and Release Announcements (which I work on). These forms of documentation do not go into the detail that your suggestion seems to require. You are welcome to implement your idea and it may get support from other people. There is no guarantee of that support however. Almost all people who work on KDE are volunteers, working in their spare time. They are typically working on projects or tasks that they are already committed to. Creating a "proper Release Notes document" is a significant undertaking. If you are committed to such a project, it would be helpful to know what you think it would entail. With some detail, you could probably recruit others to assist with the project. One place that might be useful for getting started is the KDE Code of Conduct, especially the section "Be Collaborative". So... I, for one, _am_ interested in a proper Release Notes Document. I don't know whether or not something like this already exists. If something were developed, I would assist in editing it. Given the KDE things I'm already doing, I'm not going to initiate this project. I encourage you to do so; it may be one of the most rewarding and useful things you'll ever do.
