Project idea: Dedicated release notes and lo-fi public roadmaps
At present, release notes for our software are posted either to the blog, the forum or both. We could improve on this with a dedicated feed for release notes separate from the blog, that uses a custom layout to improve the formatting for release posts.
Some inspiration can be drawn from:
- Firefox: Specifically the way they split up the release notes into different sections, like "New", "Fixed" etc.
- DuckDuckGo: While these aren't release notes, it's a nice example of how updates ti multiple pieces of software can be combined to create a sense of momentum across the org.
- Linear: These are just really nicely designed.
Major releases that include more of a narrative could still justify an accompanying blog post, however.
I think it would also be great to provide a general sense for what's coming in the near future too in a sort of lo-fi public roadmap, that doesn't promise specific windows for delivery.
