Urgent: release notes are not easily found on the Gnome websites (and please think of the poor translators!)

2011-04-06 Thread Wouter Bolsterlee
Hi marketing team,

Congratulations with the Gnome 3 release and the nice web presence we
got ourselves for this shiny new release!

There is a problem, though: the release notes are not easily found on
the gnome.org or gnome3.org websites. I couldn't find a link at all
even. FYI, the release notes are published in many languages over here:

  http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/3.0/

The release notes, compiled by Allan Day, contain lots of useful
information about Gnome 3. It would be a real shame if people can't find
these.

Many translation teams have worked *very* hard to translate these.
Please don't underestimate the amount of effort translation teams have
put into translating this document. It would be very disappointing if
their work goes unnoticed.

So, my urgent question is: please make sure visitors of the Gnome
websites are pointed in the right direction!

(Please keep the gnome-i18n list Cc'ed, since many translators don't
read the marketing list on a regular basis. (I'm not subscribed myself
either.)

I'm waiting until our server problems are resolved before adding any
further links to the release notes: library.gnome.org has been
particularly badly affected.

Don't worry: this stuff will happen as soon as possible.

For posteriority: this has happened in the mean time. The bottom of
http://gnome3.org/ refers to the (localized) release notes. Thanks,
Allan!
