* "Corey Burger" 

This time around, we will have four different bits of communication:

* Press Release: this goes out via pressy-like methods, and there's
  just one for everyone -- it links to the download page

  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntu704
  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntudesktop704
  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntuserver704
  http://www.ubuntu.com/news/ubuntuflavours704  

  (ok, there are four of them, not one, but the first one is the most
  important one)

* E-Mail Announcement: this goes to ubuntu-announce, and there's just
  one -- it's more basic than our current mail, and links to things
  like the press release, the download page (instead of a mirrors
  list), the release notes, tour, etc.

  Current draft at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/7.04Announcement

* Release Notes: we've not really done this properly before, this will
  be a page on the website that lists the upgrade notes and known
  issues only

  Will be on: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/704

* Tour: this goes on the wiki, and has screenshots; basically what
  we've called the release notes before.

Corey wants to move the tour to the website; I'm fine with either.

| I just need to get some feedback from people if we are missing
| anything and then we can start getting it translated.

As per discussion on IRC:

The page should be renamed to 7.04Tour, we need a name for the Kubuntu
one too (7.04Tour/Kubuntu?).

Some comments on the page:

* The NM screenshot should be retaken; Static configuration is changed
  to Manual configuration.  It is also not taken with the default
  theme

* the zeroconf screenshot should probably list something else than
  "poningru"; people might think that means something special.  A way
  to get this done if you just have one machine is to create a test
  user and log in with that user in a «gdmflexiserver -n» window.

* the desktop effects screenshot should be of compiz and not the "how
  to enable".  Having a screenshot with a lot of text like that, and
  most of it a warning is a turn-off.  Desktop effects are shiny and
  sexy.

* the Hardware support bit is a bit short and should be fleshed out.
  Intel Macs are referenced in the header, but not in the text.

* please talk to Fabio about Sparc64 since he is the person who knows
  most about that.

* the download links should go to http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu

* I think the server bit should mention Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.0.38 and
  PostgreSQL 8.2 at least.
