Fedora Core 4 features release notes written using a new procedure and
featuring many new details:
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/
These are updated release notes that mainly fix layout/formatting issues
that weren't critical for release are worth the fix in an errata.
* "New in Fedora Core" section added
* First release notes from the Fedora Documentation Project (FDP)
* Written by multiple authors covering different beats
* Evolving content organization
We are looking for more release notes writers for FC5 and beyond.
This is an excellent chance to get close to a technology you are
interested in. As the beat writer for a section of the notes, you
become the person who speaks for the developers during release.
For more information visit:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Process
Thanks to the FDP steering committee members who filled in the writing
gaps for this release. Now it is time to pass on the quill.
