Yes, I can. I guess Jorge and Murray are already working on that too? I'll make a call for a Roadmap update still today. This will make the Roadmap more reliable as a source of information for the release notes. > I have made too long proposals in the past.For this release I have > just one and simple proposal: make the release notes in a single page > with clear texts and lots of illustrations, linking the relevant > features to wherever there is additional information out of the releae > notes (i.e. news in the projects websites or in newsd.gnome.org ).

I would be really happy if we reach the same quality level than the 2.14[1] and 2.16[2] release notes for GNOME 2.20. --lucasr [1] http://www.gnome.org/start/2.14/notes/en/ [2] http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/en/ -- marketing-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list
