Krita release notes are superb studies in how to create software product pages: lots of context, plenty of examples, clear explanations, both features and benefits, thanks and credits, and call outs to real world users.

Kudos to the Krita team for the great upgrade.

Those release notes are a project in their own right. You need a team just for that!

They were written by pretty much one person, who also fixes bugs, maintains the manual and help out the maintainer -- me -- with any tasks needed. We usually start the release notes for the next major version right after we released a major version, and try to keep up with what happens.

Upcoming Krita 5.1, that what's currently in the master branch on invent.kde.org, already has a bunch of new stuff...

We sponsor Ramon Miranda, a professional digital artist and art teacher, to create the content for the Krita youtube channel.

That's great that your Open Source project can sponsor contributors!

I like the business model, where MS Store users (and Steam, Epic, Google) pay $10USD and linux users just DL for free.

"We usually start the release notes for the next major version right after we released a major version, and try to keep up with what happens" That is a best practice right there, and I've long been an advocate of 'continuous documentation' because it's actually less work per unit of quality over time.

What about all the YouTube content?
