Greetings L10N folk!
Due to scarce personnel resources we are running a couple of days behind
our schedule[1] for the Docs Project. However, I am getting the Release
Notes ready for a POT drop today. Although the schedule currently has a
"deadline" of 23 September, we will be extending this until about 26
September (2007-09-26).
However, please keep in mind that your team does *NOT* need to complete
ALL work by that date. Due to last-minute bug fixes and other errata,
you can expect a few string changes over the next few weeks, although we
will strive to keep them to an absolute minimum. You will need to
complete all work by the listed date of 21 October (2007-10-21), subject
to change if there are slips affecting the overall release schedule[2].
In the past we have included only finished release notes in the test3
release of Fedora, but that will NOT be the case for F8 test3. Any team
that works on their release notes translation will have their work
included in F8 test3. We would still like to include only finished
translations in the final version to emphasize the professional polish
of the distribution, but since I now have greater access to the
fedora-release-notes package in the distribution, we will be more able
to bring an update package into Fedora 8 during its cycle if additional
languages are finished by some deadline date on which we can jointly
agree.
Reminder: the full fedora-release-notes package includes material from
the following modules:
* release-notes
* homepage
* about-fedora <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
* readme
* readme-live-image
* readme-burning-isos <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
For the best locale representation, make sure you visit each of these
modules for updates. Also, please remember to check that the po/LINGUAS
file in each module is updated to include your locale, so it will be
built by our tools! Thanks to everyone for your great work, it's a
pleasure to work with you. If you have any problems, please contact us
at fedora-docs-list.

Thank you so much giving us clear picture!
Now I have a couple of questions, can I?
* Should we need to update pot/po files for those manually?
* I've edited some LINGUS to include ja, then found that 'readme/' and
'readme-burning-isos/' have no LINGUS under po/. What to do?
* release-notes
* homepage
* about-fedora <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
* readme
* readme-live-image
* readme-burning-isos <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
Many thanks

Now I have a couple of questions, can I?
* Should we need to update pot/po files for those manually?
I guess that depends on where you're getting them. If I remember
correctly, I've updated all the new POT/PO in Docs CVS, so if you
normally pull your POT/PO directly from CVS, you should be able to just
"cvs up" to get the latest. If you pull from the Damned Lies interface
at translate.fp.o, I believe that system automatically has the latest
POT/PO as well.
* I've edited some LINGUS to include ja, then found that
'readme/' and
'readme-burning-isos/' have no LINGUS under po/. What to do?
I just fixed this problem as well; sorry for the inconvenience.

I did from CVS, so they should be latest.
Thank you!
