Hi Folks,if you look, you will see that the two sets of release notesandThey both have DRAFT stamped on them. They can be edited right up to (and some times after release). Part of the system is that when a new release is a 'go' the old pages get archived and the new ones moved in to their place as quickly as possible, there are a few pages to archive off and then instate the new pre-prepared ones.If people on this chat can keep an eye on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Developers/PrePostReleaseTODOIt is a central list of what we need to do most prior and post release. Feel free to add in any 'announcement' stuff you want on there. I've concentrated on wiki pages with Gustavo and have simply added in a section for announcing things.Regards,Phill.--On 25 February 2015 at 23:38, Walter Lapchynski <wxl@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote:Since you intend this for major releases only, I can't see why it
