Release notes urgent plan

["Quim Gil" <qgil gnome org>]

Gervais, how is your progress? We are approaching the red alert.

Have you identified the 5-6 hot topics of this release? Your bet for
the main one? Share your thoughts as soon as possible, no matter how
unfinished they are.

Once the release notes are finished we migrate them to DocBook and
then the i18n team translates them into *a lot* of languages. This is
why we need to have a text delivered several days before the release.

In other words, we need to have the text finished by... the end of
Monday. Per haps we can extend 1-2 days more, anything beyond that is
red-red alert.

Gervais, I recommend you to come up with these bare ideas like *now*
and then let us help you with improvements. There is some experienced
GNOMErs around and they can provide concise advice. The only good
thing of not having time is that we won't discuss much.

What can we do in a little more than a weekend? Write one single
brilliant page with good graphics/screenshots. Each selected item
would be a paragraph with illustration, then we can have additional
1-2 paragrapgs summarizing other important sub-items. Then About GNOME
paragraph and links to relevant pages, being the first one
http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointSeventeen/ReleaseNotes , where insiders
can find the details.
