I like your plan. I'll comment inline below.

I don't understand this sentence.

Sounds good.

> Do we really want to advertise the chat that much?


Probably not. There's very little happening there. Very few users with
a good understanding of Tails help others. Most core Tails people
connect either rarely or never.

Yes.

In my experience, questions about problems with starting Tails are
indeed rare there.

… and link it from doc/first_steps/bug_reporting too I guess?

> Inline issues from latest release


We did try to inline inc/stable_*_release_notes at some point but then
we had to revert it due to ikiwiki bugs (#9564, #6907). I suspect that
this part of your plan would reintroduce exactly the same kind of bugs
e.g. on /news. IMO it's not merely an implementation detail, but
rather a matter of taking into account the limitations of our tools
while designing.

Cheers,
