Excellent. Thanks. We need help with that.

I suspect that Davyd Madeley (CCed) will take main responsibility for the
2.14 release notes, though he's not yet sure whether he has time. We do
need someone to take ownership of this task fairly soon, because it needs
attention for quite a few weeks before the release:
http://live.gnome.org/ReleaseNotes

I suggest that you look over the 2.12 release notes:
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/
and see if you have any ideas about improving the format. You might also
want to get familiar with the build/translation system here:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnomeweb-wml/www.gnome.org/start/2.12/

The 2.14 schedule is here:

I know I asked you to send this to release-team, but I changed my mind, so
I've CCed marketing-list instead for future discussion.
