Right,
I think I've finished doing all the integration I can face right now
between those two documents. Karsten, I've tried to restyle it a bit
to your proposal for the "One summary to rule them all" idea and I've
tidied up the language where possible.

Sorry I arrived late in this discussion. I did a final edit of the
Releases/9/Alpha/ReleaseNotes this morning. Had you already merged in
your changes? Your namespace draft and the one I edited appear at a
glance to be the same.
At the minute it's very text heavy, some screenshots from people
running rawhide would be very cool.
We could, but let's also let folks do that and blog about it directly.
I don't want to get into the habit of providing too many screenshots for
the release notes. A little bit is good marketing value, but a highly
significant part of our userbase cares more about a correct feature list
first and identification of major improvements/changes.
Also, I think the following
sections probably still need work:
"Applications" - It might be good to either expand on what's new in
Firefox 3 or to find some more applications that we'd like to draw
attention to upgrades?
"Anaconda Installer Improvements" - perhaps somebody who knows more
than I do could explain why people should care about these? Basically,
I'd like to find some friendlier language to describe these
improvements...
"Kernel" - Same as Anaconda really, any chance we can make this friendlier?
The other thing I think we could do with is a consistent way to link
to both feature pages and upstream pages so readers can easily find
more info.
OK, besides that I'm quite happy with the shape it's in, but I don't
know what other people think?
We can continue to edit it from here, that is one reason we use the wiki
for Alpha and Beta release notes.
