Hi Noriko,
I don't think you're that behind. We have had some significant
difficulties getting the release notes material together this release.
Partly this is because beat writers have been scarce. Partly this is
because we have tried to shift our workflow to using publican, with
mixed results.
Right now there is one remaining blocker, which is a problem with a
particular piece of XML content that's triggering a bug in xml2po, with
which our project toolchain creates POT/PO files. Once we have that
fixed we can get the POT updated and make it available.
Karsten Wade is spearheading things as usual, but I have some time to
help this weekend (finally!) and am working on the POT issue. I believe
the bug in xml2po is fixed in Rawhide so once I get a system updated
here to use it, we should be well on our way.

I am interested in taking responsibility for the RPM (Chapters1--12)
or the Installation Guide or the User Guide. But what exactly would the
responsibilities be?
In the RPM Guide, I would like to
1. update information
2. reduce verbosity in some sections
3. Add a few tables/ cheat sheets
4. Improve the format and
5. *
Best

update - release-notes module late
by Karsten Wade
Folks:
We are currently a day late with the POT file for the release notes. My
current projection is 0700 UTC 12 October, or one day (31 hours), late.
A combination of late content changes and rewriting is the cause.
However, every string will be touched and edited, reducing the need to
change the strings after the Preview Release.
Reminder:
* This Preview Release translation has a deadline of 21 October.
* At that time we will package every translation, even partially
completed ones.
* You may continue to translate the module after 21 October
* We will do an update of the module and generate the final (GA)
release notes module on 06 November.
* At that time, only translations that are mostly complete will
be included in the release-notes package build. The percentage
complete needed has not been decided yet.
* You may continue to translate the module after 06 November.
* A new POT file is generated on the day of the Fedora 10
release, and translations are updated on
docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes when each PO files is
completed.
Any questions? Please ask them all!
- Karsten
