Dan and Galen ++ Thanks for the stub document and for the thorough checklist. I will contribute to it in the next days as I get openings in my schedule.
For those of us who do not have commit rights to the working branch, is replying to the General mail list, or should we shift it to the Documentation mail list? Or would it be cleaner to have a Launchpad release notes node to make the process similar to the features and bug fixes that get tracked there?

Let's do this! And to echo Dan (and to meta-echo Dan), I've started a checklist of things to include in the release notes here: http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:release_notes_checklist If you're looking for specific areas to contribute to, compare the checklist with the current state of the release notes. In particular, since I know several users have been testing various pre-gold releases of 2.1, there's already some experience in the wild to inform the install and upgrade sections and to translate the descriptions of some of the new features to what they mean for librarians. Of course, if you want to make suggestions or changes to the checklist itself, feel free - it's on the wiki.
