with a lot of pain this time for sure ;-) I've work on the OOo one for 
several years without having to dig so much...

in there commits and there is a weekly summary provided each week on the 
dev list (my personal thanks go to Kohei commits: clear, shorts and 
descriptives :)

This time it was me, but that was done in emergency for the needs of the 
different groups (l10n/QA/Doc/Marketing) so it was not really human 
readable, Marc Paré has help to list it with the OOo features on the 
wiki, then some others help to complete it.

this was the basis for the work

Michael Meeks because nobody else did the job. I think Thorsten polished 
it tonight. Mark Morin is working on the screen shots and I'll try to 
finish screen shots tonight too.

Not yet because that was not a good process.

If you can wait a bit until the 3.3 is out, I then have already work on 
a process with developers (at least Thorsten) to have a much better list 
(a BZ number for each feature open, managed by QA people and a script to 
retrieve the list).
Then there should be really less work needed to add details and the list 
will be ready and useful for all groups at feature freeze.

Well now finally I have a question:
Why all these questions? :) Would you like to work on it the next time?

Kind regards
