Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-2394:
--------------------------------------
I had some down time today, so I started poking around. Made a basic release
notes Jekyll site. I like it because all it requires is making a new
markdown/html file named mm-dd-yyyy-version.md (e.g. 2013-05-27-1.5.0.md), and
it will automatically update a new website with the content.
The index page shows the most recent releases first, and allows you to directly
link to a specific version. I made enough style changes to make it not
completely ugly, and the content is all lorem ipsums, but it should convey the
idea.
I like the idea of keeping this in the main source tree (use/write a quick
maven-jekyll-plugin or just exec out to the command line), but that would
introduce more effort to get it into the ASF CMS. Not entirely sure, but I
wanted to at least start it out.

> The big point that came out of the massive discussion on the CHANGES file is
> that we should also be generating an easy-to-consume release notes page.
> Ideally, we want something visually appealing, easy for us to maintain,
> version controlled and not requiring manual HTML (e.g. Markdown, etc).
