Fedora has a lot of different audiences. A huge feature to one audience
is a non-event to another. The release summary on the wiki tries to get
at the big hitters, but those are big hitters in one person's opinion.
In releases like the upcoming one, even the release notes themselves are
hard to triage. There are a huge number of changes, so many that even
the "important" changes will likely make the release notes too long. We
almost need seperate announcements for each audience.
Hmm, the journals do a pretty good job then. I understand that we have
many target audiences and you can broaden the release notes as much as
you want. But still there are usually only a handful of "big things" per
release which the news sites pick up, and mostly the chosen features
among the news sites are pretty congruent. And this core
features/changes (say the 5% of changes that interests 95% of the usersm
something like Plymouth or PackageKit comes to my mind for the last
releases) would be a good starter, maybe even to tease people to read
further.
My two cents,
Tim
