 Dear community,
 
-This is a request to prepare the release notes for the %VERSION%-rc.%CANDIDATE% release.
+This is a request to help with the release notes for the %VERSION%-rc.%CANDIDATE% release.
 
-@@ Update this to point to basic notes that were created.
+You can view my initial draft here:
 
-Please follow the release procedure:
+    https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/couchdb/notes/VERSION/rc.CANDIDATE
 
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Release_Procedure#Preparing_the_Release_Notes
-    
-Everyone is welcome to prepare the release notes for this release.
+Please read through this and suggest any changes. The summaries were taken from the CHANGES file. But we aim to be more descriptive in the release notes. A paragraph or two explaining the change, or what it means for the user, for example.
+
+This file is kept in Subversion, and if you are a committer, you can just check out the directory, make your changes, and check them in. Otherwise, please just comment in reply to this email and I will take care of it.
 
 Thanks,
