Subject:RE: True insignificance... and release notes From:Wade Courtney <wade -dot- courtney -at- nocpulse -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 6 Mar 2002 14:30:57 -0800
We have a new release roughly every three weeks. So, every three weeks I
write about 16 pages of release notes using information in our bug tracking
tool, bugzilla. I email the rough to engineering and operations, when I
get all changes done, I give it to my boss (VP of Eng) for his final
blessing.
Once blessed, I make the needed changes to the user guide and I publish all
relevant documentation via html and pdf.
