> > One concern that is that a release announcement is a very big chance to

> > authors accidentally choose terms or phrasing that reflect negatively on
> > Fedora.  The quality of the writing or grammar also reflects on Fedora.

> > To lower this risk, it seems like a good idea to have the release
> > announcement draft due for review by the final test (usually test3,
> > occasionally test4).  Every draft announcement then needs an independent
> > review by a reader of that language.
