Since test3 is also going to be a one-sheet for release notes, how does this idea sound?
* At the top of the one-sheet (F7Test2/ReleaseNotes) we put a link to Docs/Beats and explain the content is alpha ('alphabet soup'), sort of the rawhide of release notes content source.
* Include this link in the announcement sent about the one-sheet
* Promote on support channels (#fedora, fedoraforum.org, fedorafaq.org, etc.)
Pros ---- Brings more attention to the raw notes, which brings more contributors.
Gets more important information out to more people sooner (release early, release often.)
Many eyes make fewer technical and grammatical errors.
Makes our jobs easier while doing a better service.
Other?
Cons ---- Unpolished portions of the Wiki pages may reflect negatively on Fedora Documentation or the Fedora Project in general.
Technical errors may cause user computers to eat themselves, or worse, get expelled.[1]
Very empty notes such as we often have in the middle of testing can be quite embarrassing. :)

I'm +1 on this.
Do we already send a reminder on -maintainers every time a release is about to come? If not, we should schedule it to urge maintainers put content. This reminder could be embedded in Jesse Keating's freeze reminder or could shortly follow it.

We need more to it than that, obviously. The workflow step hopefully reminds us. Probably want to get the URL into a template that Jesse uses, and discuss if we want to/can automate nagmail. :)
