For the 2.3 release it looked like: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#New_Features_in_OpenOffice.org_2.3 This info is more marketing-talk. Can we move it to another page, or leave it there, so that users interested in features details have to scroll further down?

Maybe she's doing what I will do later this day: vacation ;-) I've been catch by the localization round ;) I've begin to work on the .odt document Cor has done and on Writer features. I'll send the document this evening to Cor, I don't know now if I should fill the wiki or the document so I go on with the first process.

Optimizing / cleaning up the wording in the Full List 2.) Writing up summaries for the New Features in OpenOffice.org 2.4 section 3.) Adding more blogs and screen shots 4.) Adding the Known Issues Feel free to contribute to whatever section you like!!!

[marketing] OOo 2.4 release notes
Hi, some time ago we agreed that we need better Release notes (http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=releasesby=threadfrom=1919869). For the 2.3 release there is now a draft in http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3 which is based on the data of http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Testing_2.3 For 2.3 release I would like to see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#New_Features_in_OpenOffice.org_2.3 and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#Known_issues as the new release notes for 2.3. As an appendix to that we could use the http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.3#Full_list and the old release notes as a technical changelog document. For OOo 2.4 there is http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Feature_Freeze_Testing_2.4 available but not yet something like http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/New_Features_2.4. I would like to have new Release Notes available with the first release candidate mid of February, will this be possible, is this doable ?

Then we have another three weeks left, so my guess is that it must be doable, expecting that I find some others to help. Even more: if one/some others is/are handy in making screenshots and placing them in the Wiki, the 2.3 version could even be improved. And thus it could mover from 'draft' to 'final' (didn't notice before that is was draft :-) ). What do you think, does that sound reassuring enough?
