Looking back... we really did 2 year release cycle...wow!
As for documentation activity time-line....
I think we should focus on updating/polishing squeeze release note for
about 4 - 6 months from the release date. So I expect to see only one
main trunk only. (This is usually the first real update time-line
although we had a quick fix release earlier for squeeze.)
Then we should continue on updating/polishing so from 6th month until
18th month. But, in this period, we should discuss and put some effort
to the wheezy release note. So I see we have 2 branches and effort for
both. I envision work in this period for wheezy is more about general
structure of release note. (I expect to have more table/list of
packages for specific types of issues so adding at the last moment will
be easier.)
After frozen around 18th month time-line, we should switch main activity
to wheezy. There I expect to address specifics.
