I think all of these questions about formats and tools are a bit
secondary though.

Having the release notes on the system really makes most sense if we
actually make an effort to present them to the user when he would be
most interested in seeing them - right after installation.

The current post-install workflow already launches yelp with the
gnome-getting-started guide. Maybe that page can be expanded to include
the release notes in some form ?
