355294 - Upload Sunbird 0.3 release notes

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Calendar :: Website, defect)

Description

[Matthew (lilmatt) Willis]

We need to put the release notes up before release.

This bug is for getting the html and stuff reviewed. The actual content stuff is happening on the wiki.

Attachment: Sunbird release notes. Some wordsmithing still required.

Here's my proposed release notes html. It's shamelessly stolen from Fx/Tb on the m.com site.  I'm not a huge fan of the indenting style they used, but I stuck with it rather than messing with the whole file.

Screenshot on Mac. Note that some text has changed from this screenshot, so check the HTML for the real text.

This also needs a couple additional images:
The release notes graphic, and the Windows, Mac and Linux icons.

I'll assume they're good once the HTML is reviewed.

It feels to me like there's still some amount of work to do on the release notes.   In particular, I think we should probably factor the Known Issues piece into two lists, one that we really really want people to read before starting the app, and the other that's more of a "if you have problems, look here" and is a bit more comprehensive.  How about we redirect the www.mozilla.org relnotes to the wiki pages until we get to a point where they're a bit more stable?

><li>Bug 330121 Datepickers & export code not usable in Lightning on Japanese Windows 2000</li>
><li>Bug 353307 All day events expressed in UTC timezone sometimes show up on the incorrect day in the Lightning agenda pane.</li>

This two Lightning-only issues should move to the Lightning release notes.

Sunbird release notes. Some wordsmithing still required.

General note:
Please use a consistent indenting style. I mostly used 1-space-indenting and 
sometimes 2-space indenting. Please try to match that throughout the file.

Please add these local styles to calendar.css so that we can reuse it for later 
Sunbird release notes.

I haven't seen a proposal for a system requirements page. I agree that we should 
provide one. Can you hook up a sample page?

Weird indentation here and in the following lines. Please fix that and please also linkify 
the bug numbers.

We shouldn't use all.html. We already have l10n_download.html

This will bring you to the main Calendar Project page. Please fix this.

Sunbird 0.3 Release notes edited with dmose and uploaded to www.
Nits were addressed.

We will still need to update the release date whenever that is, and link to the Solaris builds once Sun gives them to us.

In addition, we still need a system requirements page. I'm talking to dmose about what those requirements should be.

-> FIXED
