If anyone has time to replace the cruft at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraDocs_2fRelNotes_2fCore4Test1RelNotes
with this:
http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/relnotes-wip/added.out http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/relnotes-wip/removed.out http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/relnotes-wip/changed.out
that would be great. :)
I ran a script against dist-fc3 and dist-fc4 to generate a big list of added, removed, and changed, then parsed them into separate files and cleaned them up a bit for easier insertion in the Wiki.
For ease, we can probably just include the package changes with version numbers and change arrow -> in a bulleted list. We haven't historically (afaict) done a changed list.
Deprecated is subjective. We'll have to get developer input or seek another method to find out what is deprecated.
This is probably a good 90% of the truth, possible 100% of the truth, in terms of the difference between the two base installs.

Just so that you know -
I'm at work so won't be able to do anything for most of today. I'll probably be on IRC/mail from about 7.30pm (GMT) today.
So far I've gone through the text and tidied up indents and line breaks.
One issue that has popped up: The import lost the admonition (Note and Warning sections) formatting so that these became regular paragraphs.

I did lots of tweaks to the release notes today, and if I am convinced of anything it is that a Wiki is not a nice place to edit a very long document.
I've been convinced today by others that our best bet is to find a way to insert just a little extra process into developers existing workflow.
I don't want to give up the hard work that Ed did to get developers to give relnotes the love they need. But I don't think asking anyone to edit the Wiki is a good idea.
For test1, we can use the Wiki to supplement the release notes, just to cover the gap of a missing release notes. We can continue discussing the best approach for test2.
