The string freeze for F8 was today, so shipped translatable resources
should be finalized in a VCS by... today.

The content for the offline browser start page (/cvs/docs/homepage)
should be decided ASAP and a notification sent to fedora-trans-list.
Start.fpo translations can happen incrementally, but having its content
finalized and available early on would be a good thing.

+1 for using the homepage as a gateway to useful information -- that was
our purpose when we decided to put content on it. Let's just make sure
that some offline content will be available for people with low network
accessibility. Installing Fedora on a laptop and having the browser show
nothing because the wireless hasn't been setup yet, won't make a good
first impression.
