Release Notes: released!

<cross what=”fingers”>Just in time for the ISO spin</cross>, the Fedora Core 5 Release Notes should be ready in the following tangy fruit flavors:

• en_US
• it (courtesy Francesco Tombolini)
• pt_BR (courtesy Hugo Cisneiros)
• zh_CN (courtesy Yuan Yijun)

(I apologize if I left out a name; these were the ones on the CVS commits.)

Coming soon to the Web version:

• fr
• ja_JP
• ru

In looking over the notes, we’re aware that certainly there are some organizational challenges that go along with spreading the responsibility for the relnotes across the community. We have already committed to revamping the organization before FC6 to make it easier for everyone to participate and pull this data into a helpful shape. But it’s obvious that, for the most part, the quality was able to be retained and even in some cases improved — certainly the quantity was! We also appointed a new relnotes editor-in-chief, Bob Jensen, who is taking the reins with a firm hand.

More than ever before, I think we can safely ask the question, “Did you check the release notes?” To all the community members who helped gather and shape them, well done.
