Release communications -- plans
The Release Notes are starting to look very nice. It is worth
reviewing if you have not looked recently:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes
This is the primary statement of what is in the release. The
introductory sections are general enough that this page can be used as
a self-contained announcement message. It doesn't require additional
context.
However, we will have additional announcement statements.
1) There will be a press release. This repeats a subset of the
contents of the release nots, but it the format and style that is
expected in a press release. Don Harbison took the lead on drafting
that.
2) We should also have a brief blog post. Maybe only a paragraph or
two and then a link to the Release Notes. I don't want to spend too
much time on the blog post since I am almost certain the blog will
crash under load. For that reason I'd recommend that we don't promote
the blog page via social media, etc., Promote the Release Notes
instead.
In the past we've translated the blog post. But in this case I'd
recommend we focus on translating the Release Notes.
3) A brief announcement to our mailing lists, including the 9000
subscribers of our announcement mailing list. Again, linking back to
the Release Notes.
4) Posts to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, etc. This is something where
everyone can help spread the news, by sharing, +1'ing, RT'ing,. etc.

It looks really a bit too much duplicate.
@Kay:
AFAIK you have created the additional part. What do you think, can you
shorten it with a reference to the known issue?

I noticed that the "gatekeeper" notice is twice on the release notes and
with the same text, one under "known issues" and the other near the end,
under upgrading/installation, is that intended? Maybe the second one should
be shorter, pointing to the "known issues"?
BTW, ES translation is ready.

Many thanks Jürgen!
You do so much for the project already, that's impressive.
I'll try to arrange things for that after your vacation then.

It has been reported several times already but since you link the landing page of the forum we need to remove the incubating logo top right of that page.
imacat has not been seen on the forum for a long time, any volunteer to be admin?
NB: this is not criticism, we all have our own agenda. But there are several items that have not evolved since Nov. 2011.

Thanks. I've done this a few times so hopefully no glitches with this one.
The static HTML that gets rendered is exactly what is shown in:
https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/aoo-40-release-notes.html
which I also did not know about.

Yes, that is just a great compilation and presentation, which will make it easy for everyone to
comprehend (and appreciate) quickly what AOO 4.0 brings about.
Very well done !

The Release Notes on the wiki are really really super! Maybe the most
beautiful Release Notes I have ever seen! :)
What I was planning to do -- as soon as additional editing on the release
note stabilize -- is:
1. make an HTML copy *only* as backup and port that to:
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/4.0.0.html/
(so you will see this in the commit logs)
2. Set up a new link in:
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/index.html for 4.0.0
but link it to the CWiki version.
Does that sound OK?

The Press Release went out with a link to the CWiki version of the
Release Notes (the only version we have). The blog post links to that
as well, though that can be changed if someone makes a static version.

If you press the '[' key you can eliminate the navigator on the left,
but I don't see a special URL for that. It would be great if there
was a special URL that would show only the page contents without the
nav or header.

Sorry, I meant the static version of the cwiki page. The cwiki pages
exist in two versions, the "live" one and a static one that is
automatically generated (and, possibly, handles the traffic better?). In
the meantime I found it: the static version of
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/AOO+4.0+Release+Notes
is
https://cwiki.apache.org/OOOUSERS/aoo-40-release-notes.html
but the former actually looks nicer...
As for the www.openoffice.org page, if I get it right we won't be
copying the release notes to the website right now: we will use the
cwiki version at release time.

Yes, this was added by Infra when they upgraded Cwiki. The static
version does not display it.

Release Notes to all OOo and AOO versions are here:
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/
So, for 4.0 I would expect:
http://www.openoffice.org/development/releases/4.0.0.html

Does someone from our project has inserted the hint? I thought it was an
Infra topic.
If it's possible than yes, it should be deleted.

Indeed, they are nice. The part introducing the Sidebar is very good too.
Just a question: we will be promoting this Cwiki page, but:
1) I recall seeing that there was a "static" version available for each
page, which was the recommended one for publishing links (and had a URL
ending in .html). I can't see it now. What is the link we should publish?
2) May we get rid of the "Upgraded to 3.5.17. Upgrade to 5.1 delayed."
notice in the page header? We've probably get used to it (it's about the
Cwiki upgrade, nothing to do with OpenOffice) and we don't notice it any
longer since it has been there for weeks, but a lot of people are likely
to mistake it for a notice about the OpenOffice upgrades.
Regards,
Andrea.
