I suggested looking at the current release notes only as a guide as to what generally should be in them. Agreed this is a fetch RSS and write something better. I suggested in irc yesterday that having an outline to show the intended goal would be nice. Perhaps even a mock up of the result with limited content. Personally, I find writing without an outline hard so that may be my style showing. > Chris >
