[Ns-developers] maintaining RELEASE_NOTES

I'd like to propose that we build RELEASE_NOTES as we go along, with 
every developer doing editing of this file, rather than have the release 
manager build this file at the end of the process.  Something like the 
below (which summarizes changes since the 3.1 release to date).

New checkins worthy of mentioning in the release notes could be 
prepended to a list in one of the below categories.

Comments?
