We have missed all deadlines for screenshots. I haven't even seen them
(apart from the Arabic one, provided by the own translators). Too
late. Too bad. Hopefully we can still arrange something for the
English version, which will be the most accessed.

Gervais, what materials do you have? Can you upload them somewhere we
can check them?

The result should be only one page, yes.

IMHO we don't need index page. Links to translations ideally would be
in the same page. Downloads of live demos ideally would be linked at
the Get Footware page. All the background information is either
explained in the release notes page or in gnome.org, I don't see the
point repeating this here.

About how to build your own GNOME... which % of readers of this page
are going to need this information? It might be more confusing than
anything. Developers willing to compile GNOME from the sources should
be able to find this information elsewhere. If it's really needed,
let's add the link in the release notes themselves.

Now everything is in
http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/project/foresight/release?id=5402 which
is not a URL to be linked directly in the release notes. This is why
I'm suggesting to move it to the Get Footware page.

-1  Let's do press releases about news the press can be interested in
AND we are providing everything needed for them.
