+****************************
+  What's New In Python 3.4
+****************************
+
+.. :Author: Someone <email>
+   (uncomment if there is a principal author)
+
+.. Rules for maintenance:
+
+   * Anyone can add text to this document, but the maintainer reserves the
+   right to rewrite any additions. In particular, for obscure or esoteric
+   features, the maintainer may reduce any addition to a simple reference to
+   the new documentation rather than explaining the feature inline.
+
+   * While the maintainer will periodically go through Misc/NEWS
+   and add changes, it's best not to rely on this. We know from experience
+   that any changes that aren't in the What's New documentation around the
+   time of the original release will remain largely unknown to the community
+   for years, even if they're added later. We also know from experience that
+   other priorities can arise, and the maintainer will run out of time to do
+   updates - in such cases, end users will be much better served by partial
+   notifications that at least give a hint about new features to
+   investigate.
+
+   * This is not a complete list of every single change; completeness
+   is the purpose of Misc/NEWS. The What's New should focus on changes that
+   are visible to Python *users* and that *require* a feature release (i.e.
+   most bug fixes should only be recorded in Misc/NEWS)
+
+   * PEPs should not be marked Final until they have an entry in What's New.
+   A placeholder entry that is just a section header and a link to the PEP
+   (e.g ":pep:`397` has been implemented") is acceptable. If a PEP has been
+   implemented and noted in What's New, don't forget to mark it as Final!
+
+   * If you want to draw your new text to the attention of the
+   maintainer, add 'XXX' to the beginning of the paragraph or
+   section.
+
+   * It's OK to add just a very brief note about a change.  For
+   example: "The :ref:`~socket.transmogrify()` function was added to the
+   :mod:`socket` module."  The maintainer will research the change and
+   write the necessary text (if appropriate). The advantage of doing this
+   is that even if no more descriptive text is ever added, readers will at
+   least have a notification that the new feature exists and a link to the
+   relevant documentation.
+
+   * You can comment out your additions if you like, but it's not
+   necessary (especially when a final release is some months away).
+
+   * Credit the author of a patch or bugfix.   Just the name is
+   sufficient; the e-mail address isn't necessary.
+
+   * It's helpful to add the bug/patch number as a comment:
+
+   The :ref:`~socket.transmogrify()` function was added to the
+   :mod:`socket` module. (Contributed by P.Y. Developer in :issue:`12345`.)
+
+   This saves the maintainer the effort of going through the Mercurial log
+   when researching a change.
+
+   * Cross referencing tip: :ref:`mod.attr` will display as ``mod.attr``,
+   while :ref:`~mod.attr` will display as ``attr``.
+
+This article explains the new features in Python 3.4, compared to 3.3.
+
+.. Python 3.4 was released on TBD.
+
+For full details, see the
+`changelog <http://docs.python.org/3.4/whatsnew/changelog.html>`_.
+
+.. note:: Prerelease users should be aware that this document is currently in
+   draft form. It will be updated substantially as Python 3.4 moves towards
+   release, so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.
