This kind of makes sense since you ought to read the release notes BEFORE you install. But back then the release notes were plain text only, and only in English. However, with the advent of live media, it became a lot more user-friendly to boot the live media and read the release notes there. Not only is "everything in one place" but in many cases you can look and see what the release notes are telling you. So no, putting them "on the media" and not "in the live system itself" isn't acceptable unless there is an obvious click to view them from within the live media. I've been biting my tongue during this thread. I get the idea that there are significant numbers of folks who are willing to sacrifice the user experience to the altar of ideological purity. Whatever the implementation details, it is important that the release notes be easily available, in an obvious place (preferably no different than the previous release as viewed by the user), and available offline. As long as the user experience isn't degraded, the implementation details should focus on ease of maintenance. But first and foremost, the user should not experience a regression. --McD -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
