Yes.


christian> * trunk/ANNOUNCE says something like:

christian>      Known bugs at release time are detailed in
christian> RELEASE_NOTES, and an updated list of bugs can be found in

christian> I'm not sure it should be '...Beta', what do you think?

Lose the Beta indeed. And it is RELEASE-NOTES, not RELEASE_NOTES.

christian> * The wiki page RELEASE_NOTES15Beta will link to
christian> trunk/RELEASE_NOTES as well as trunk/ANNOUNCE. In addition,

I am not sure things should become so complicated.

christian> trunk/README and trunk/ANNOUNCE, i.e. a page that primarily

No.

christian> PS: Question about trunk/README: Is this file also

Probably with correct rpm packaging, but otherwise, no.

The lyx file is only useful when LyX already works...
