| Notify Dev Alpha RNs | Send note to dev list that Alpha RNs coming and feature pages or beats should reflect updates | Give developers a chance to comment on their updates, even if not included in major features. | |
| Recruit Beat Writers | Recruit new writers for any orphaned beats | Plan is to post requests to dev list, blog. Then email potential candidates for specific beats discovered by mining review requests. Some beats may be tame enough, or have no features, so they may be left vacant. | |
| Comb feature pages alpha RNs | Go through feature pages merging highlights into beats | Ultimately select the few features to highlight in the one-page of alpha | |
| Alpha one-page | Create single page release notes for alpha | ||
| Write unclaimed beats | Perhaps a beta release notes party? | ||

| Remind dev wiki freeze | Wiki freeze for beta is Sep 6. Remind Dev the window is closing | Invariably, some developer or another is disappointed that nothing about his app made in into the release notes and the wiki froze by surprise. | |

| f-r-n.rpm | |||
