The process is more or less as follows:
- We gather 'what has changed' as completely as possible. Sources:
- the feature plan on techbase (preferred source but incomplete)
- asking people directly
- blogs from planet.kde.org
- the commit digests
- then we ask developers to check if it is correct
- we then turn that list into the release announcement ;-)
- and ask for screenshots etcetera until it is all done.
