  (jjmcd, 00:58:01)
* when editing, replace wiki links with full https:// links.
  (stickster, 01:11:07)
* also, remove admonition, and make sure there is an appropriate title
  (jjmcd, 01:11:31)
* when removing {{package|foo}}, it's helpful to replace it with ''foo''
  (wiki italics) so it's easier to locate by the resulting <emphasis>
  tags in the XML  (stickster, 01:12:18)
* prefer http rather than https for the printed release notes  (jjmcd,
  01:12:32)
* publican build --langs=en-US --formats=html  (jjmcd, 01:27:51)
* LINK:
  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Quaid/Documentation_Beat_status
  (quaid, 01:29:04)
* when cut/paste - be sure that lines still wrap and do not have
  newlines inserted  (laubersm, 01:31:08)
* We shouldn't just copy new content over the old, because we might
  accidentally bring in trivial changes that aggravate translators
