Coming from a developer / beat writer standpoint here: One thing which should
be clearer is when exactly the beats stop targeting Fn release note errata and
start targeting Fn+1 (currently n=9). Because we want to make sure our changes
for Fn+1 end up in the Fn+1 release notes, but we don't want them in the Fn
release note errata! And if the point where we're targeting F10 already
happened, then can the wiki please be fixed not to refer to F9 all over the
Docs/Beats front page? This is something I already complained about in the F9
cycle.
Another thing I wonder is: are the one-page release notes for the alpha and
beta releases really a good idea? Because the thing is, they're intended to
save us work so we can get the first release notes done more quickly, but in
practice they're actually extra work, because we have to write everything
twice, once in a short form for the one-page notes and once in a detailed form
in the beats. For some features (like KDE 4.0 was in F9), there's also no way
to fit in all the important stuff into the one page (or else more than half of
it would have been KDE stuff ;-) ). I'd rather have just written the full beats
right away (but couldn't because they were still targeting F8 errata, and they
wouldn't have been used anyway).
