Re: 2.12 Release Notes

2005-08-18 Thread Dave Neary


Hi Andreas,

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I'm not a fan of the splash.

It doesn't really convey that there's been a release, and there's no
sense of excitement about it. If you weren't familiar with GNOME, you
wouldn't know that the splash is talking about our latest greatest
software, and you wouldn't know that we're really proud of it.

Sorry to be so negative with no ideas on what would be better.

Cheers,
Dave.

I've been a bit rushed, so the text is less than perfect. I don't expect
to have much time for this after Monday and for the next few weeks.

2.12 Release Notes

Davyd, could you add the screenshots again this time, please.

As per my schedule,
http://live.gnome.org/ReleaseNotes
the English version (with screenshots) must be finished by August 24th
(Wednesday), which allows for one week of review before translating
starts on August 31st. The 2.12 release is on September 7th:
http://live.gnome.org/ReleasePlanning_2fTwoPointEleven


The generated HTML is not showing up yet on the web server, but we
should hopefully solve that soon, and when we know that it works, we'll
probably disable it until the release anyway.
