Yes, and we could add the reference to RELEASE-NOTES where this
information could go in a static way.
That page needs an update... For instance, It refers to an alpha release
of LyX, and includes/embeds
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/lyx-devel/trunk/Status.15x
which no longer exists.
Hmm... I'm trying to get an overview of this. We have the following files:
* trunk/README
* trunk/ANNOUNCE
* trunk/NEWS
* trunk/RELEASE-NOTES
* trunk/status
What's the purpose of the different files... Here's what I've figured out
so far:
* trunk/README - this is to be read first by someone using the source. It
should give pointers about where to go next. Is this file also
available with an _installed_ version of LyX? (i.e. on Windows where
most users will go for an installer)
* trunk/ANNOUNCE - the source/copy of the announcement that's sent out
when a new version is released.
* trunk/NEWS - eh... also used for an announcement? (I feel I'm forgetting
something here...)
* trunk/RELEASE_NOTES -
* trunk/status - ?
Where and how should we list known bugs in the (beta) of 1.5?
We can work in the wiki and just before release we can copy that
information to RELEASE-NOTES. Does this sounds like a plan? ;-)
If I understand you, RELEASE-NOTES will contain information about known
bugs at the time we release 1.5?
I'm not so sure we should mix references to the wiki with static
information. Using the wiki to prepare information is ok of course.
So should ANNOUNCE really refer to the wiki, or should it refer to
RELEASE-NOTES?

PS
About README: I think the text about version numbers could say that the
LyX file format is never changed within a LyX 1.x-series, only between say
1.4 and 1.5. Should I make a suggestion and send it to the list?
