I send screenshots for the Application page and suggested some more, see my 
earlier mail:

The picture we have from the 4.10 release can be re-used, it is release-
independent. If the 4.11 and ? painted on it is removed, it is good to go.

Missing screenshots are:
For the Plasma Desktop page:
- a screenshot of a default desktop after logging in
- the battery applet in action, showing more than one battery

For the applications page:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29347181/kmail%20archive%20agent.png
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29347181/send%20later.png
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29347181/notifications.png
- a full shot showing new features in Kate's plugins or one of the other Edu 
apps, Kstars, Marble...


The XXX To Be Done part is an oversight on my part, sorry. That should be:
"... and Kate introduces new and improved language plugins."

With these screenshots it should be quite a decent announcement.

And yes, anybody can send the screenshots, the how-to is on the bottom of the 
etherpad: https://notes.kde.org/p/release4.11

Sorry, I'm not feeling well so I can't do much more today.

Cheers,
