My takeaway was there were concerns with having uncontrolled changes to the Release Notes. But if we like the wiki as a technology there are ways of handling this. For example, we could link to a specific revision of the wiki page from the download page. That allows us to be constant by default, but preserves flexibility to update it later if needed. -Rob > For now, we will link to the Community wiki area I guess, and deal with > other issues on this matter later. > > >> >> > >> >> 5.
