*Notes for newcomers on the release:*
Release happens every 6 months (1 in spring, 1 in fall)
Contains: news items (on websites), screenshot pack (zip file full of
screenshots), video (by bastian), release notes
release notes (biggest piece of work)
- - several pages, a lot of text, very detailed, describes features,
but *user friendly*
- - designed to talk to user, not too technical, less for the developer
or the hacker
- - explains why it matters when you use the system, translate what the
developer has done (technical jargon) into how its relevant for users
- - information for release notes comes from developers who type all
features into a wiki page. those are rough notes and a starting point.
then, turn that into a more digestible, meaningful report. (

- - Translated by translation teams: deadline is 2 weeks before release
- - Allan is main writer, but others contribute at times
