I'm apparently trying to understand a moving target here, so I'll give it
a second shot now that 'status' has disappeared etc.
In the trunk we have:
* trunk/README
* trunk/ANNOUNCE
* trunk/NEWS
* trunk/RELEASE-NOTES
where
* trunk/README - this is to be read first by someone using the source. It
should give pointers about where to go next.
* trunk/ANNOUNCE - the source/copy of the announcement that's sent out
when a new version is released.
* trunk/NEWS - a collection of major points from the previous
announcments, presented in reverse chronological order.
* trunk/RELEASE_NOTES - Important things to know about present release.
This includes known bugs that have not been fixed.
As for bugs, there is the suggestion that:
* trunk/ANNOUNCE says something like:
Known bugs at release time are detailed in RELEASE_NOTES,
and an updated list of bugs can be found in the LyX wiki at
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/RELEASE_NOTES15Beta
I'm not sure it should be '...Beta', what do you think?
* trunk/RELEASE says something like
Further details of known known bugs can be found in
the LyX wiki at
http://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/RELEASE_NOTES15Beta
* The wiki page RELEASE_NOTES15Beta will link to trunk/RELEASE_NOTES as
well as trunk/ANNOUNCE. In addition, the page will also contain (embed
or include) a copy of trunk/RELEASE_NOTES. Below that, we could pull
in a list of bugs from bugzilla that match some suitable keyword.
Or just give the user a link to bugzilla.
Is there any point to having a wiki page corresponding to trunk/README and
trunk/ANNOUNCE, i.e. a page that primarily links to the corresponding
files and embeds/includes their contents?
Thoughts regarding the above? If you like it I can set up the wiki page
and make patches for RELEASE_NOTES and ANNOUNCE.
/Christian
PS: Question about trunk/README: Is this file also available with an
_installed_ version of LyX? I.e. on Windows where most users will go for
an installer... somehow I doubt it. Is there an equivalent .lyx-file?
