Aaron and I think we're getting close to being ready to declare Hard Freeze and String Freeze, however there are a few questions first:
1. There has been some recent discussion about some string fixes needed to make the translations better. What is the status of this work? Can this be finished up within a day or two?
2. For committing translations during the Hard Freeze, Aaron and I would like to have an official Translations Integrator to handle committing of all the translation patches. Arpad, do you have time to take this role again this release? If not, then Cornelius, would you be willing to take the role?
3. Must-Fix bugs: While serious, I don't consider the remaining critical bugs to be complete show stoppers. If anyone disagrees, this is the time to raise red flags (and bug id's).
Instead, we're going to go ahead and plan on a 0.45.1 release in a few months to catch some of these issues.

Hi,
- For committing translations during the Hard Freeze, Aaron and I would like to have an official Translations Integrator to handle committing of all the translation patches. Arpad, do you have time to take this role again this release? If not, then Cornelius, would you be willing to take the role?
I am willing to get the role and I agree with Arpad that it would be good to be in that role together. Cheers cornelius

Danish translations can be updated within this timeframe, so no trouble there.
Best regards Rune
Aaron and I are ready at this time to declare the Hard Freeze for the 0.45 branch.
From this point until the release, please do not commit to the 0.45
release branch; all changes must be posted as patches to the patch tracker for review and integration by the release wardens (Aaron and I) or translation wardens (Arpad and Cornelius).
There are still a number of critical bugs that probably won't be fixed soon. However, we will plan on producing a 0.45.1 release at a later date where we can catch some of this.
I would also like at this time to declare String Freeze, to assist translators in finalizing their translations. If there are any remaining string issues such as non-translatable strings or fixes to existing strings, please send patches in ASAP.
