Call for 2.43 Release Notes Samples
8 Comments Published by Bart on December 29th, 2006 in Development, Documentation
Blender developers are currently wrapping up the 2.43 release. Rumours are that a release candidate may appear any day now. In the mean time, the release notes are being prepared and they can use a little help there.
BeBraw writes on BlenderArtists:
Release notes work as a showcase of Blender's features. Release notes are useful for both novice user and experts as well. They allow one to take an extensive look at the wanted features and to try them out.
Currently the release notes in progress have plenty of room for such examples and pieces of art. Additional examples can also be provided at the wiki.
You can help us by providing example files, images, videos, all things related to the release notes. The examples don't have to be complex necessarily. The main thing is that they are clear and offer proper insight to the feature shown. It would be good if there was a textual description of the feature for instance.
Please head over to BlenderArtists for more information.

I'm curious if these are the only features that 2.43 is bringing that dont even have textual documentation… that needs such help. If what's already listed on blender.org is all, its a shorter list than usual… I'll go check the wiki. Maybe I'll answer my own questions.
