[che-dev] 6.9.0 release notes - request for items

[Dave Neary <dneary@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

After an abortive attempt last release, which we will put down to
holidays, I would like to try once more a collaborative effort to
generate release notes.

We have just hit the end of the 6.9.0 release sprint, and we should
promote anything which will improve the experience for Che users -
including Che features and Theia features which will have a high impact
for users of Che who choose to use Theia as the IDE.

Please reply to this email, on the list, with the following information
if there is something you would like to see featured in the release notes:

- Feature name/label
- Quick description of value/impact for Che users
- One paragraph description of how to access/use feature
- Links to PRs which implemented this feature (or made it available to
users)
- Key contributors to the feature

If feasible, please attach an image or animated GIF showing the feature
in action.

For smaller, but nevertheless important, features or high impact bug
fixes, a single line describing the impact and a link to the PR and/or
issue would be great also.



There is a release notes template in github:
https://github.com/eclipse/che-docs/blob/master/src/main/pages/release-notes/rn-template.md
which I propose we use to provide a high level outline of work that
happened in the last release which delivers something which is impactful
to users (may be the last piece of a puzzle started in previous sprints).



The goal of this process is to increase transparency in how we produce
release note blogs, to ensure we give credit where due, and hopefully to
spread the load of producing release notes so that we can have a more
regular flow of information about the work we are doing to the user
community and beyond. Your help in this endeavour is very welcome!

Thank you all for your support!

Dave.
