Guys,

What will be the final home of the Release Notes and the Change Log for 7.4?
We need to program links for the press release.

We've recently started putting up the release notes on the main site:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/release/734.php
though that really ought to be put into the build scripts and served up as
.html files.  Current we don't have any place for the change log, though I
suppose we could make a /changelog/ directory of the docs section if you want
one.  Incidentally are you planning on putting in the translated press
releases on the advocacy site?  Also whats the final url for the press kits?

Doesn't matter to me where it is, as long as I can have a valid URL this week.

We were planning on putting them in
advocacy.postgresql.org/releases/74/{language code}/,

e.g.
advocacy.postgresql.org/releases/74/EN/74_press_kit.html

Of course, we may need some help setting this up.

well since no one has popped in with any other suggestions I guess we'll
do that.  If you have the completed files you can send them to me and I
will commit them to cvs.

hmm... for these ISTM we will want a news item about the release, and
that news item would hold the full press release. That's how we did it
with 7.3 anyways...

I don't have the files, these are things Bruce is generating.  Where are the
changelog etc. for 7.3?

As we dicsussed before, this won't work for 7.4.   First off, the release &
presskit are too long and involved for the translation interface at
advocacy.postgresql.org.   Second, we're getting press kits in some languages
we don't currently have advocacy pages for.

Since you're slammed, maybe Devrim can help us with this?   He has done some
web work on postgresql.org, yes?

agreed on the press kits, but it seems like we need some kind of news item on
the advocacy pages....

Yes.  We can cut-and-paste that from the press kits, though.
