><i> Erratas evolve, release notes don't. Once the release is done, we do not add
</I>><i> feature nor change it, so the releases notes should not evolve and be fixed.
</I>><i> Erratas are completed once bugs are found.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So to me, releases notes should be prepared before the release. If we modify
</I>><i> them after, that because we were late, ad the problem should be fixed by not
</I>><i> being late.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> However, the problem is the errata, and we maybe need a better tool than the
</I>><i> wiki. Errata is basically just a list of errors, with a classification ( right
</I>><i> now, linear one, but tags could work too ). We also need to translate it, and
</I>><i> wiki is not good for that.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So to me :
</I>><i> - releases notes on the wiki are just working document, like a draft
</I>
I disagree; any distro's wiki should be regarded as "the first and most
important source of finding how-stuff-works in that distro"; a really good wiki
becomes a source of info for Linux users in general, for example:
<A HREF="http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue">http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue</A>
<A HREF="http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/RPM_Advanced">http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Development/Howto/RPM_Advanced</A>
<A HREF="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_an_RPM_package</A>
<A HREF="https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration">https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration</A>
these are not drafts, they're "documentation" articles.
><i> - releases notes, once finalized, should be on the web site, and be prepared
</I>><i> before so
</I>
Sure; though I have to admit that the release notes for Mageia 2 will be
somewhat easier, we'll just copy the ones from 1 and edit them accordingly,
i.e. the structure is already in place (even if webteam wants to split/divide
it some more).
><i> - we can translate it
</I>
Translating is translating, web page, wiki page, printed page, it's all text
that needs to be transformed from one language to another.
