[Publicity] Xen 4.3 - Getting Release Docs into a good state

[Lars Kurth <lars.kurth.xen@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

as we are close to the Xen 4.3 release, it's time to bring the release documentation into a good state. The next document day is next Monday the 24th. This would be a great opportunity to fix the documentation. But before would be good.

What needs fixing is

1) http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.3_Feature_List for correctness as well as explaining features by a short paragraph that makes sense to users (not just the people who have developed it)

2) http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.3_Release_Notes 

For both of these it may be worth trawling through the Test Day instructions

Stuff which anybody can do

3) http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.3_Man_Pages - need to add any new documents that have been created since 4.2

I will update http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_4.3_Acknowledgements on Monday (after we branched, assuming we do)

@George, as you have been the release coordinator, do you want to announce Xen 4.3 on the blog? Let me know.

After the release, we should have a series of articles on the blog explaining how to use some of the new features. Stuff which comes to mind is:

1) New toolstack features : Open vSwitch & multiple USB devices

2) QEMU upstream : why, how, when to use upstream vs. not upstream

3) vTPM: an introduction (that requires a specialist)

4) XSM/FLASK: an introduction (that requires a specialist, I am also still waiting for Steve to upload his docs onto the wiki)

5) NUMA affinity : how and when (we did quite a bit on this on Xen 4.2, but I believe there may be a final missing gap in what we have)

6) Getting started with Xen on ARM (maybe on the Arndale)

I am looking for volunteers who could do these.

Best Regards

Lars
