This is your [ daily|weekly|fortnightly|monthly ] reminder, from your 
friendly docs team, to remember the poor souls who toil in darkness to 
write relevant release notes for all of our projects.

How can you help?  It's simple!

  1. If you're closing a bug, set the customer-facing flag.  Read more
     about how this work HERE [ wiki link tbd ].

  2. If you're checking something into CVS that seems noteworthy, 
     include RELNOTE in the body of the checkin message.  For example:
     "RELNOTE: redhat-config-toast now accepts the --margarine switch."
     Read more about how this works HERE [ wiki link tbd ].

  3. If you'd rather just send a note about what you're doing and how
     things are changing, just send a note HERE [ email address tbd ],
     and we'll figure it all out.

And then maybe a funny story about how an engineer's failure to update
release notes resulted in an FC4-controlled trolley car running into a bus
full of nuns, and the resultant tragedy.  Or some such.  Keep 'em
guessing.  :)
