Very appropriate reminder.For documentation purposes this is critical. A terse report does not always ring a bell to the community or the people in charge of adding contents in Help or guides. Not to say about the marketing comm business.
Also, release notes added *after* the software release is not good at all. Cheers Olivier On 5/20/25 05:03, Ilmari Lauhakangas wrote:
Beta1 for 25.8 will be released in a couple of weeks, so I thought to bring this up. In April, I added over thirty entries to release notes wiki pages. I didn't artificially try to inflate that number, they were all noteworthy items, which is rather cool. While I combine the work with the monthly QA report research, it is still a bit distracting and it would be good to have them written by the developers themselves. I also don't really have the energy to create screenshots as part of this work.We have guidelines that include instructions on what to do and how: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/GuidelinesThe release notes page for 25.8: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ ReleaseNotes/25.8To new developers: you can log into the wiki using your single sign-on account that you created for getting access to Gerrit.The goal is to include as many items as we can before marking the page for translation with the beta1 release.Ilmari
