Web-only release notes deadline 30 May 23:59 UTC

*** Last Chance for Web-only Release Notes ***

Tomorrow (30 May) at 23:59 UTC we are freezing this part of the Wiki:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats

We'll be putting any additions made to the Beats into the release notes.
These are then published on 31 May here:

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes

This URL is specified now at the top of every page of the release notes,
so it is a highly visible way to get any last-minute notes available.

Following the release of Fedora 7, we'll push out an update to
fedora-release-notes, after a short interval for translation.

As a side note, we shouldn't call this "web only" anymore since the 
content is going to be pushed as package updates too.

I wonder if those translation intervals are a good tradeoff for the release 
notes. Release notes often contain important last-minute information, so having 
the latest information is crucial. So I think having as up-to-date information 
as possible in English would be better overall than having lagging information 
in N languages. IIRC, there were a few pretty important release note entries 
which weren't allowed on the media because a freeze for translation was in 
place.

(And before you file me off as yet another English-speaking bigot, I'll note 
that my mother tongue is _NOT_ English.)
