	Totally agreed with this!
	
	I think it should have these two sections *clearly* written:
	
	(1) What is it? It needs to outline the context of the new release
	    NOT a criptic or abbrevated name does not help. We should consider
	    there are always new comers out there whom we can attract to use
	    or develop the tecnology :).
	    
	(2) Why the new release? 
	    This should give some rationales for the new releases. 
	    Ask yourself that quetsion, why would I bother to take on 
	    a new release, because it is better than something I use now,
	    or because it's cool...
	    Sometimes a developer has worked in something for so
	    long, he/she forgot why the release anyway.
