Yes, I was. We (Kevin and I) froze what we were doing on Sunday/Monday
until we could sort this out.
Now, we are moving on.

I have been building my local version of both the desktop and serverguide
portions of the 13.10 area of help.ubuntu.com almost every day for a couple
of weeks now. The Makefile was fine as of revision 236. However I did revert
236 to 235 (called 237) just a couple of hours ago, and until Kevin catches
up, yes there will be html build issues reported, but it should still build.
Kevin will need a lot of proof reading help, and I will post preliminary
13.10 help.ubuntu.com just as soon as it makes sense to do so.

I Think Kevin already answered this one. We do the .pot .po files cycles
immediately
upon string freeze and then the translators go ahead.

My opinions only (feel free to disagree):

It depends on: How trivial the change is; How responsive other doc
committers
are; How much time is available (it takes a lot of extra time to go the
merge
proposal route); If there are actually others helping and contributing.

In an ideal world, one with lots of contributing volunteers, I agree with
you.
However, I have become fed up waiting around for merge proposals to be
approved.
For example take a look at the one I have sitting over on the serverguide
right
now. Enough already, I'm going to push it myself.
