I would like to start translations going in the coming week -
preferably tomorrow.
That would mean that we should start a "soft string freeze", whereby
we can continue to add strings over the next two weeks or so, but we
should only change existing strings extremely sparingly if it is
absolutely necessary to fix a problem. Bear in mind that a string
change means potentially that a translation of the previous string is
wasted work.
The next couple of weeks' work would focus on finishing off the
"stub", "draft" or "incomplete" pages. Then we would have a "hard
string freeze" in a couple of weeks whereby we stop working completely
on the natty docs for the time being.
Does anyone have a problem with this timing?
