As part of the release process for Debian Installer, a string freeze from July 20th 00:00UTC up to July 25th 00:00 UTC was decided. The goal is currently a release at the very end of July.
Hmmm ... I planned to volunteer in a systematic wording review [1] of the original en-version. Thus I believed, waiting until consolidation of functional bugs and feature freeze will be the right moment to start with text improvements.
Any comments on my plans? After a short vacation, I could start at 5th august, and estimate 5-10 days.
To late, to step in? Is there a rough timeline, milestones? I think, the side effects to translations would be minimal, because the meaning will not change, only the wording. But from my last impression on d-i daily 2004-06-07 I estimate some hundred lines of patches.
