[Blueprint trusty-tahr-release-notes] Trusty Tahr (14.04) Release Notes

 

Blueprint changed by amjjawad:

Whiteboard changed:
- [ahoneybun] I really like how GNOME set this page up http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/ so maybe put together that idea and how the Kubuntu team setup this https://wiki.kubuntu.org/TrustyTahr/Beta2/Kubuntu. Just my 2 cents.

  [inivanoff1] Yes, the Kubuntu team has done some nice work here. Okay, let's do it.

  [jamesvorder] Kubuntu really did a nice job, but I think the one question that's holding me back at this point is this: "What IS new for 14.04?"  Should we be asking the development team what their biggest triumphs for this cycle were?  Otherwise, should we be asking testers?

  [amjjawad] How about this?
  
  http://ubuntugnome.org/lts-status/
  
  Is this enough 'what is new' for Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 :D
  
  Yes, we need to ask the developers and/or packaging Team for their input
  but the page should be ready and the section which packaging and
  developers team will update will be left empty for them :)
  
  If this is not yet clear, please let me know!

  [inivanoff1] I was thinking to add some images (pictures) of the software applications included in 14.04 LTS (how the Kubuntu team has done in their release notes). For example, we can add a Firefox logo with "float: left" and on the right there can be some heading "Firefox Web Browser (version)" and 1-2 sentences representing the browser. What do you think?

  [jamesvorder] I love that idea.  In fact, I installed the testing version of 14.04 today so that I could get some screenshots of the new version of GNOME in action.

  [amjjawad] Thanks a lot for the work so far, guys but the screenshots
  are very very small :( I can't see anything at all. This is not what I
  had in mind. We need clear and reasonable size screenshots. 640x480 is
  the minimum and 800x600 is the maximum. The point is we need to show our
  system to the world. The current ones are too small :(
  
  We have 3 weeks to the final release so we need to get this done before
  that and I trust we can :)
  
  Thank you!

  [inivanoff1] Ali, I know that the images are too small. I wrote to you in Facebook, but I'm not sure if you have seen the message. I was just testing how the images will look and that's not the final version of the release notes. Ali, James, I want your opinion for something: what do you prefer – icons of the apps or screenshots of the apps' window? Maybe screenshots with the apps' window will be better because it will show what the app really is. And this was really some testing by myself because the page is a draft. Ali, thank you for your opinion here, I will take your notes and I will add bigger images.

  [jamesvoder] We should definitely go with screenshots that include the
  window.  This will both show a more realistic picture of the new
  release, and show off GNOME 13.10's new and super attractive window
  bordering technique.
  
  UPDATE: My laptop i much to slow to run a VM with any kind of acceptable speed, so can someone else get the screenshots? If you don't want to crop or scale them or whatever, just email them to me and I can contribute there.

  [inivanoff1] I can take some screenshots, but maybe at the start of the new week, because now I am in my home town and here I have an old notebook with Xubuntu only.
