Jacopo, could we rather use JIRA for this? I mean if we open an issue for every task that our commits belong to (even if they are not coming from a patch) we are all done. It will be enough to use the Change Log tab page (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:changelog-panel) to have the report.
Using JIRA in a more "strict" way will get the Release Manager's life more easy also. In this case the tool is this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel Just my 0.2€ -Bruno 2010/3/8 Jacopo Cappellato <jacopo.cappell...@hotwaxmedia.com>: > No volunteers? > > Jacopo > > On Mar 5, 2010, at 10:53 AM, Jacopo Cappellato wrote: > >> A user friendly digest of relevant new features was indeed the original goal >> of that page. >> If we want a very granular list of changes I would suggest to start from the >> output of "svn log" and then decorate it to be more readable: it could be an >> interesting page for sure (we could run it every week/month). >> >> Since it seems that the committers are having an hard time keeping the page >> updated (I am one of the guys who is not keeping it up to date so blame on >> me!), are there (non committers) volunteers that would like to lead the >> effort? >> >> The task can be summarized in this way: >> >> 1) keep an eye on the commits (and discussions on the dev mailing lists) and >> prepare a digest of the main new features >> 2) if there are doubts about commit, feel free to ask for more information >> to the committer >> 3) take care of completing the summary of the month within the first 10 days >> of the next month >> >> This task is also a great way, imo, for becoming a new committer because it >> really helps to learn a lot about the project. >> >> Kind regards, >> >> Jacopo >> >> On Feb 27, 2010, at 5:51 PM, Jacques Le Roux wrote: >> >>> Do we really need that?
