| [che-dev] Release documentation |
As you may have noticed we have not been doing a great job with our release marketing lately.
This is due to the fact that people who used to do that have either changed priorities or got additional responsibilities.
Therefore, the committers/contributors to the project needs to get more involved with release documentation.
I would like to propose the following changes.
1. Instead of compiling the release notes on medium, we compile them on the docs repository as md files. And publish them on the website.
2. Instead of our current plain release notes, I would like to do a combination of New & Noteworthy and release notes. Similar to what
Eclipse IDE or VS Code does.
3. The above means the committers must provide the material needed for the noteworthy features to the docs repo as PRs. This should not be
hard for Red Hatters as you would be demoing those anyways.
4. It is a known fact that developers do their documentation, but just in case I propose we can add updates to release doc as a criteria for PR merges.
5. Steven becomes the editor for the document and publishes guidelines for screenshots, animated gifs etc.
6. We upload a youtube video of team leads rapping all the new features :)
Thanks,
Gorkem
