Just to update everybody involved:
F8 is coming in bit over a week now, so now is a good time to start updating the website -- with the added complexity of managing translations.
Right now, fp.o is "frozen" at an earlier commit, which means that we can start updating the templates/pages to reflect F8. We should do this as soon as possible to give translators enough time to update.
The main changes for the F8 website: * Replace all F7 with F8, new slogan is "Reach Higher.", I think. * Replace counter with F8 banner, get F8 screenshots for index * New and improved get-fedora page
Once this happens (hopefully by Thursday or Friday), we should email fedora-trans-list to kick off translations. Ideally, we'd have all updated translations by Monday, if possible (sent to ricky@fp.o).
For existing translations, there should be relatively few changes - just some HTML fixes, number-changing, and get-fedora. Also, all wiki links are in gettext calls now, so the links can point to translated wiki pages if they are available.
For get-fedora: At least make sure that the strings are stabilized by Thursday or Friday- actual layout/design-wise, we'll probably have until Monday, but the earlier, the better :)

By the way, I won't be around for most of Thursday-Monday.
Running make in fedora-web should regenerate the POT file if necessary and msgmerge the PO files.

I'm sorry about this - we ended up running a bit late. Right now, fedora-web strings should be finalized and ready for translations updates (which should be pretty minimal - some changed wiki links, F7 -> F8, and the improved get-fedora page). We'd like to try and get everything by ready by Monday evening to be pushed to mirrors, but it's not the end of the world if time doesn't permit.
In the future, we will definitely be formalizing the timelines and processes around these kinds of updates.
Thanks (and sorry for the short notice), Ricky
