Hi, I intended to send this mail to debian-doc as well as debian-i18n. So, here I forward it: From: Kobayashi Noritada Subject: Please show the timeline for the Etch Release Notes Date: Sun, 01 Apr 2007 23:48:45 +0900 (JST) > Hi, > > As a translator, I'd like to know when the English version of the Etch > Release Notes will be finished. I'm quite confusing to see the > current state of the Release Notes that it still has many big changes. > I have been working to make the Japanese translation finished on April > 1st, the deadline described in an announcement[1], although I have > some other big tasks/deadlines last week and this week. However, the > translation work has been like a cat-and-mouse game and I cannot see > the goal line now. > > Since all translators and collaborators (like reviewers) have private > schedules, I'd like to know the latest information of the Release Note > works -- what percent has finished, what has not been done, and when > the original text will be (almost) finished. I've read notes on > recent changes[2], but it may have got old, and it does not mention > any timelines and deadlines. > > Note that translation is not a word-by-word substitution. Translation > requires consideration and reviews by other people just as the > original text does. I need at least a couple of days (and hope one > week) to finish translation after the soft freeze of the original > text. > > [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2007/03/msg00098.html > [2] http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2007/03/msg00135.html > > Best wishes, > > -nori and a comment from Luca: From: Luca Brivio Subject: Re: Please show the timeline for the Etch Release Notes Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2007 17:25:10 +0200 > As a translator, I fully agree with nori. It would be important to know which > day exactly original Release Notes will be completed and reviewed, and how > many days (hope 3 at least) we'll have for the last revision to be available > for commit. > > -- > Luca Brivio Many thanks, -nori
