FYI,
What's interesting is that the release notes is a "living document"
which is controlled over at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject. Each section (called a
beat) of the release notes is written by a different person (called a
beat writer). You can file even file bugzilla/suggestion reports
against particular parts of the release notes and other guides.
In the future, the release notes will be automatically generated
(concatenated) from all the different beats and put in to distribution.
The wiki granularity is pretty awesome - little 'ol me was able to
file a suggestion to the release notes:
You can see all of the release note requests for Fedora Core 5.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=168083
One of the advantages is that you can register in the wiki and modify
such content yourself and participate in enhancing the release notes
actively which goes beyond filing bug reports.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing
The idea behind using the wiki as one of the sources of content is to
lower the barrier for potential contributions compared to using CVS and
docbook xml markup. While the beat writing process itself has worked out
relatively well and you should be able to see the results in the
upcoming test releases the idea of random quick contributions hasnt
really paned out much. Whoever is considering file bug reports or
suggesting enhancements might consider registering and contributing
content directly instead.
Another related item is that we have a rawhide equivalent of docs now
available at http://webtest.fedora.redhat.com/docs/
