Launchpad entry: [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-release-notes ubiquity-release-notes]
Packages affected: ubiquity
Summary
Display release notes while installing from the desktop CD.
Rationale
Few users go to the trouble of looking up the release notes before or during installation. Ubiquity should offer to show them to the user automatically.
Use cases
- After release, a bug is discovered in the installer that may cause certain users to be unable to install, or to require a certain workaround. They should be warned about this in advance.
Anything else?
How about providing the user with a way to setup their computer to listen to mp3s (not familiar with the legalities involved with this?) -- nixternal DateTime(2006-11-04T00:57:14Z)
Provide the user with info concerning adding "universe and/or multiverse" support for specific apps (once again legalities?) -- nixternal DateTime(2006-11-04T00:57:14Z)
Provide the user with info on how they can contribute? -- nixternal DateTime(2006-11-04T00:57:14Z)
Scope
The actual contents of the release notes (as opposed to their location and format) are out of scope and will be the responsibility of the release team.
