First of all, many congratulations to you and other Koha developers
for "launching" a new version of Koha!  :)


I have found some minor problems with the release notes in your e-mail
message and there are some things that are not clear to me.

Looking at http://git.koha.org I see that:
- the tag "3.00.01-stable_update" has the description "version 3.00.01
stable you should use" (created 36 hours ago)
- the tag "v3.00.01-stable" has the description "version
3.00.01-stable" (created 43 hours ago)

... so "version 3.00.01 stable" is NOT the string used for
"v3.00.01-stable_update" (the string used for "v3.00.01-stable_update"
is "version 3.00.01 stable you should use").


So, I ask you if your text should read as this instead:

> v3.00.01-stable_update

"Yes, we can!"  ;-)  Sorry, I couldn't resist that, eheh. What do you
mean by "You can download"? I think this is "leftover text" from the
"You can download file and signatures" text in the last part of the
1st paragraph of the Release Notes. Am I right?

Very small typo ("databas" should be "database").

That's the old page. The new one is:

http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-translate


By the way, in the "Release Notes" web page - at
http://www.koha.org/about-koha/news/nr1234988287.html - the text of
the "koha-translate" link is correct - it reads
"http://lists.koha.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-translate" - but it is
actually pointing to the old page also -
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/koha-translate

That same web page, has some weird text links at the top right, that
read ""About KohaKoha NewsKoha 3.0.1 Released" [sic] (without any
spaces in between).


Finally, the "Download" web page - http://www.koha.org/download/ - is
missing the 3.0.1 version.


And I think that's it. I hope this information is helpful and I'll
gladly read any comments about this. :)
