Hi All, I made a little progress today on the release notes. See: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_Notes/8.2.0 Thanks to whoever posted the Sugar Control Panel pictures (I also upgraded an XO to 2128 try it myself, looks like I need a newer version to get the latest). One comment on the Suga

I added the 'Stable Release' template the Release pages so we don't have to answer the question -- what is the latest stable release. We should use 8.1 instead of 703; and I will try to get the 8.1.1 signed off so that is the latest stable... Martin, You have to help us keep up with the latest sta

Hi Eben, I was thinking that this page http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Releases is a short and sweet overview of all current release. It should answer questions like: I saw a reference to 8.1.0 on a list, what is that? I want to upgrade to the latest release, which one is current? It should have - st

We've had a couple of discussions about Release Notes and Feature lists. Here is my proposal: Feature lists -- I created a 'XO_Base_Features' page (which should keep the running list of features the XO supports as of the latest stable release). I added the "as of release 8.1.1" to the top of this

Hi All, Who is writing the release notes for 8.2.0? I am seeing a lot of good info on improvements pass by in e-mail or in Trac exchanges (e.g. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7443#comment:3). I want to start capturing them somewhere so users can see what changes/benefits are in the release. May
