- uncommitted NEWS from rel notes (anyone)
What does this mean?
1 Ask everyone on jabber to read http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes, copyedit, fill what is missing, spell-check.
2 Do
elinks -dump -no-numbering -no-references http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ReleaseNotes > NEWS
or in any other way convert it to plain text in the NEWS file.
3 Commit NEWS to CVS.
If you are on jabber, please try to give the process a kick. As for actual tarballing, I guess it will be Ted's job again.
Should I try to learn the tarballing process too? Would that help move things forward? New blood means more mistakes, but it would probably be healthy to have a few more people able to do this in the future. Do I need to wait for work from the Release Wardens to make a pre2?
Yes, of course, please do learn if you feel motivated. I'd really appreciate that. There's some info on release process on wiki, please familiarize yourself with it. As for pre2, I think you can do this as soon as you're ready. I'd prefer that we do a release right away, but since there are unfinished items, and since this is your first, I think starting by doing pre2 is a good idea.
