o Announcement work is in progress--will wrap up at tonight's meeting
(01:00 UTC Thursday)

o Work on guides continues and should be ready soon
--install guide and security security guide, user guide
--publishing on docs.fedoraproject.org
--How are we advertising that the guides are available?
--help.fedoraproject.org has links
--some personal blog posts on planet would help too
--We do not have any explicit dates on the schedule for pushing the
guides to docs.fedoraproject.org
--best target is the night before release day or earlier is best
given cvs processes that have to run
--John will work with Eric on the Fedora 12 schedule
o Need to have Documentation on the website stay at the final target, so
that links to docs.fp.o don't need to change on release day
--This is the plan in the future, release-notes were just missed
through accident
== Marketing ==
o Jack has everything done so will be ready for docs meeting tonight
o Coordinating content
o Release announcement needs to be translated
--How should this be coordinated... by the docs team or directly with
the translation team
-- Jack will have the next cut at the announcement finished by
~3:30pm today, so others can check it over. Then Docs will review this
evening during their meeting.
--In general we do not translate... because the idiomatic first
section doesn't tend to translate well. It's not forbidden by any
means, just not required.
--If we want to change this we should rework the Fedora 12 schedule
