Hi,
can somebody explain me how the New Features page[1] has been compiled?
with a lot of pain this time for sure ;-) I've work on the OOo one for
several years without having to dig so much...
1) Where do the developers list new features?
in there commits and there is a weekly summary provided each week on the
dev list (my personal thanks go to Kohei commits: clear, shorts and
descriptives :)
2) Who does it "translate" into a human readable draft feature list?
(assumed: Wiki[2])
This time it was me, but that was done in emergency for the needs of the
different groups (l10n/QA/Doc/Marketing) so it was not really human
readable, Marc Paré has help to list it with the OOo features on the
wiki, then some others help to complete it.
3) What about this page
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Weekly_Summary ?
this was the basis for the work
4) Who transforms the draft feature list[2] into a user-friendly&
marketing-approved website announcement page[1]?
Michael Meeks because nobody else did the job. I think Thorsten polished
it tonight. Mark Morin is working on the screen shots and I'll try to
finish screen shots tonight too.
And finally 5)
Is the above process documented somewhere?
Not yet because that was not a good process.
If you can wait a bit until the 3.3 is out, I then have already work on
a process with developers (at least Thorsten) to have a much better list
(a BZ number for each feature open, managed by QA people and a script to
retrieve the list).
Then there should be really less work needed to add details and the list
will be ready and useful for all groups at feature freeze.
Well now finally I have a question:
Why all these questions? :) Would you like to work on it the next time?
Kind regards
Sophie
