I've emailed a couple of people today to get an idea of what has
changed between 1.0 and 1.2 so we can start to compile the important
improvements.  Hopefully this can be expanded upon pretty quickly.

Collating and looking at the main features/updates in the release
announcements (the 5/6 bullet items at the top) that Alexandre
produces might be a good start.

Already done.  I'm looking to try and fill out a WWN for this friday
and then use the information from it as the basis to add to the
release page.  Plus just compiling the list isn't enough, many of the
points need clarification so you have to go through the patch list to
see who contributed what and contact them.  When I've done it I'll add
it to that page though it is pretty low priority for me.

Also if any one knows anything about the WineTestBot could they have a
go at turning the section on it at
http://wiki.winehq.org/RecentNewsQueue into a news item.  It is
definitely worth mentioning for 1.2 but I'm not interested enough to
investigate it.  I'm happy to reformat what you write in to a more
'news looking' story if needed.

I really think it would be very beneficial to go into some detail on the 
64-bit support. In particular, it would be a good idea to outline the 
expected user experience when running a 64-bit app.
