Oh, I see what you mean. The release notes get done on the wiki. I'd
like to have them collated in one logical place though, sub-linked etc.

As I understand, though, for the release the release notes go into
docbook and are part of edubuntu-doc? Same with the about page which, as
far as I can tell really is just a scaled down release note.

Fantastic. Where are you planning to track this? I'm hoping to move the
Edubuntu Documentation wiki pages to under the doc-team pages very soon.
Should make life easier.

Perhaps you're right. See how it goes for Ubuntu and then follow suit.

Thanks Rich, you're a great help.
