Mark/Markus: I'll second the request for merging pages (in general, and those 2 specifically), and encourage Updating existing pages rather than just starting afresh. Aging documentation isn't usually improved by abandoning/forking it! Updating is often preferred.
Ideally, please merge *into* the older pages, which have: * more watchlisters, * and more history, * and more incoming links (from onwiki, and email archives, and bookmarks). All of which assists in widespread awareness of changes (and thereby collaboration).
It's perfectly fine to have a per-release checklist that is updated, but it shouldn't be different than the main pages people look to for information. Also, burying the work under the WikiReleaseTeam page doesn't help findability.
Possibly merge & update some of these, too? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Version_lifecycle https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Branch_points https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Release_notes https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiReleaseTeam/Release_timeline https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiReleaseTeam/Release_log
Thanks! -quiddity

Hi Greg,
actually, the WikiReleaseTeam/Release process [1] is my attempt to rewrite the release checklist [2], with more specific information about responsibilites and timeframes. I will take this opportunity to continue working on this.

That's it! Thanks, Sumana! :)
Mark/Markus/Kunal: This seems redundant (in some ways) to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/WikiReleaseTeam/Release_process . And they don't crosslink.
Mark/Markus: Can you merge the two pages effectively?
Thanks!

Is there a page documenting all the little things (like what Antoine did there ^) that need to happen with each release?
