I think as of now the information is in fact very fragmented.  So I
can't think of any better ways than what you've already been doing
above.

We can probably designate a single wiki page to collect all new
features and enhancements for each version.  How about

http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/3.4

to be the central page where we

* collect noteworthy changes since last release with one or two
paragraphs (done by developers during development), and
* edit, cleanup and re-structure by people from the marketing or
documentation near the release date.

It would be very convenient to have a single location where we can
share all this work, to avoid duplication of text.

And I don't want this to be as formal as specifications (which I
rather dislike), but some lightweight documentation by the developers
which can be decorated and expanded by documentation authors.

I'm certainly willing to write up the new changes for Calc in 3.4.

This is just an idea.  What do you think?
