This is a proposal for the process by which we construct release notes, but does not represent a final decision.

=== Release/Channel Specific Notes ===
Linked to "What's new" which appears on every channel's download page .
<br>Eg : Check http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ for latest Release and click on "What's new" below the green Firefox Download button to go to release notes
 
=== What's New/Known Issues Section Candidates ===
(channel) notes for Firefox(version) Desktop or Mobile are pulled from :
* For features or known issues to be considered for release noting, set relnote-firefox: ?
* We go through these release note nominations in a feature review meeting with various stake holders from product,project,marketing and other drivers where If we agree, we'll either set the flag to relnote-firefox:{version}+ for the first version of Firefox the feature will be present in, or just relnote-firefox:+ for known issues that will be noted until resolution
* If we do not intend to release note something in any way, drivers will set relnote-firefox:-
 
Note : Please make sure to only nominate those features and issues that are significant . [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/21.0/releasenotes/ Sample] notes.
 
=== Updating Release Notes ===
 
All "Known Issues" (bugs) that do not have a fix date in the DB should be checked to see if they've subsequently been resolved in a newer Firefox version. This needs to happen on a weekly basis, since that's the cadence for Aurora/Beta.
