by Eric Christensen
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
To start a constructive discussion on Docs QA I'd like to propose the following goals:
1) To review all guides for errors before release.
2) To review all guides for spelling and grammar errors.
3) To review all guides for proper use of DocBook tags.
4) To review all changes to guides (from bug reports) before release.

If I'm getting this right, that could be aligned by sending a general notification to the teams asking the contributors to update their profiles.

Wise. That would be an A+.

A list of contributors would be great, but we haven't figured out how to
do that. In the past we have tried but have never been able to get it
right, especially with the translators. Perhaps the new tx offers some
options we haven't examined. For writers, we can check the wiki
history, git commits and bugzilla, but there tend to be a lot of
translators that we don't know how to identify.
As far as the revision history, that is necessary. However, I also
question the value of translating it.

F16 Release announcement draft
by Ben Cotton
Hey gang,
I've written up a draft of the release announcement for Fedora 16
since I volunteered for it in the meeting today. The draft can be
found at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F16_release_announcement
I did what I could based on the talking points and the feature list.
If you have any suggestions or edits, please feel free to edit the
wiki page. I've never written RAs before, and it turns out to be kind
of fun, so if you'd like to provide some constructive criticism
on-list, or out-of-band, I'd be glad to hear it!
Thanks,
BC
