To me a perfect solution would be to place the release notes in
gnome-control-center's 'Details' section. It seems like an appropriate
location and is better suited to these sorts of things since it is not
somewhere like ~/Documents in which they are user-removable.
This approach would of course require downstream patches, however.

Hi Elad
Sometimes I wonder if I am alone with the documentation group. I
see that you and I have similar ideas.
I have been stating that the release notes, perhaps in pdf format,
should be stored in the same directory as the ISO images.
The notes could be in html format by language
b) Torrent file -- ditto
c) PDF or *odt format
If wanted, use a a separate directory to hold the notes. In this
case, a language code in the title would distinguish the appropriate
translation.
In my view, If I have already installed the ISO, it is too late for
the notes -- Fedora21 will be functional. The true use of the notes
is for planning the upgrade, be it by fresh installation or via
fedup.
But what would be of interest to me for pre-installation planning
would be a bill-of-lading -- a contents list for each of the Fedora
21 iso images.

Hi Leslie.
That sounds like a good compromise.
The Final Release Criteria doesn't state we need the release notes on
the *installed* system, it uses the phrasing "on the image"
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_21_Final_Release_Criteria#Release_notes
So, yes, this is possible, but to make it happen we need to generate
PDFs for the release notes, and get rel-eng to put them on the media
itself.
Just one thing: next time please use "reply to all" to reply on-list
so other people can see your message too.
Is this compromise (putting PDF files in the directory on the media
instead of in the live system itself) acceptable for everyone?
