Thanks everybody, of course I will start now translating pieces of notes which are up ATM (in order to distribuite my work in my free time). But the original question was: when Release will Notes be 100% ok? It seems to me probably during the end of release plan, but from your mails i can understand that after Soft Freeze there will be (almost) only minor changes.
Yes, that is the right idea for how things will go.
And another question: how often is the NEWS file updated? Once at the end of release plan? Is there a script which convert Release-Notes->NEWS?
It is updated manually. I don't think we've ever specified *when* it is updated, but I think in many cases it's right before the release. However, since it is just a short synopsis of the release notes, perhaps it should be updated earlier, thus giving more time for translation.
