How does this outline look?

... in trying to be inclusive for all the parts of the Project.
Apologies for cross-posting but I'd like to try to tie together some
ideas that have been floating around the fab and docs lists.
Is it feasible to start looking at the Release Notes / Release Summary
and some issues with timely production of those, mentioned in FDSCo
meeting[2] today, through the spectacles of Mr Spaleta's post [1] and
his rainbow diagram[3]?
There seems to be a good cross-section of FP subprojects involved in a
production of release notes and summaries, all of which could benefit
from the better co-ordination of the effort:
* Maintainers/Packagers
* Testers/Bug Triagers
* Beats and Docs writers / Translators
* Artists
* Marketing
Being inventive (not!), I thought something like RelNotes SIG, acting as
an umbrella for all of the * above might achieve this better co-ordination.
Immediate and a very visible benefit would be accurate Release Notes
produced on time throughout the dev-cycle (and Rahul and others relieved
of beyond-human effort during the last 48 hrs before the mirrors open
every 6-7 months).
The other, less visible benefit, is the possibility (there was a bit of
a talk about it within docs team, too) to use this road to attract new
contributors and get them started on smaller, less intimidating pieces
of the project.
Is there anything fundamentally wrong with this?
Cheers, Vladimir
