After a week working on 5.7 final, I am not at all satisfied with the 
profit/effort ratio. Here are preliminary thoughts.  Your comments are 
welcome.

Now that `pip install leo` is feasible, I believe we can emulate Jupyter's 
install page <http://jupyter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html>.  This 
approach would have the following benefits:

- Instructions are simple, shorter and clear.
- No need for sourceforge, pyinstaller, windows installer.

Otoh, we might still want a discussion of using git ;-)

>From my point of view, about the only advantage of using official releases 
is that it forces me to update documentation.  But that is fading in 
importance now that we use the github issue tracker for almost all 
improvements and bug fixes. 

Rather than laboriously editing the release notes we could do the following:

- Insure that all bug fixes and enhancements are recorded in the issue 
tracker.
- Mark all completed items with the proper release milestone.
- Mark all significant items with the lvl:major label.

In fact, I did this for 5.7, excluding the lvl:major label.

P.S. I am not happy that the two latest comments about Leo on sourceforge 
are from those unwilling or unable to install Leo.  I would rather delete 
the entire evaluation section, but that seems impossible. This is one 
reason I am thinking of abandoning sourceforge.  The other is that very few 
people use it.  My time is limited, and I would rather work on Leo than on 
seldom-used distros.
