@Sofia Wallin

Release requirement for documentation   

We need to create clear requirements for release documentation. Each project need to be aware of what's expected and this need to be tracked by the release manager.

Suggestion to create a table with projects categorised with associated documentation forming an initinal set of release documentation

@Sofia Wallin

Outdated/not maintained content

In order to keep track of releases and ensure that the documentation is structured well outdated content need to be removed. It is very hard to keep track, support and perform reviews with lots of content that is not longer relevant.

The project suggest to create a wiki page where we keep track outdated links and content that has not been updated during previous releases. This would be a longterm exercise with recurrent sync with the TSC for approval of removing such pages. 

Action points

@Sofia Wallin to invite @David McBride to a doc call to discuss tracking improvements 
@Sofia Wallin to create a wiki page for outdated/old content
@Andreas Geißler & @Thomas Kulik create a suggestion for better tracking release documentation 
@Sofia Wallin map the participating projects list to the tracking page for documentation 
@Sofia Wallin reach out to @Timo Perala for a late addition to the upcoming event.
