    7. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Beat_status (jjmcd, 00:58:01)
    8. when editing, replace wiki links with full https:// links. (stickster, 01:11:07)
    9. also, remove admonition, and make sure there is an appropriate title (jjmcd, 01:11:31)
    10. when removing {{package|foo}}, it's helpful to replace it with ''foo'' (wiki italics) so it's easier to locate by the resulting <emphasis> tags in the XML (stickster, 01:12:18)
    11. prefer http rather than https for the printed release notes (jjmcd, 01:12:32)
    12. publican build --langs=en-US --formats=html (jjmcd, 01:27:51)
    13. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Quaid/Documentation_Beat_status (quaid, 01:29:04)
    14. when cut/paste - be sure that lines still wrap and do not have newlines inserted (laubersm, 01:31:08)
    15. We shouldn't just copy new content over the old, because we might accidentally bring in trivial changes that aggravate translators (stickster, 01:46:11)
