I've been heads down on other projects and forgot to ride the schedule for the relnotes. D'oh! Mea culpa.

We are two days late for freeze for translation, so have missed our agreed upon scheduling.

We need to freeze soonest for test2 for trans.

Freeze begins at 08:00 UTC 15 December. This gives the West Coast of the US, i.e., me, time to be useful.

Is there anyone interested in helping with the conversion from MoinMoin to our XML for relnotes? The first step is automated (thanks Patrick!), so we get well-formed XML from fp.org/Docs/Beats.

I need help with diffing and merging. I've been doing visual diffs, i.e., using my eyes, but I reckon that xmldiff or something similar could be really useful. I'll be working tonight, -0800 UTC (US West Coast) from before and after the 08:00 UTC freeze. I'll certainly be working on it by 21:00 PST/05:00 UTC.

I also think an XML diff is useful for the translators. We need to work on getting that within our toolchain.

I apologize to our friends in translation. Hopefully the content is not going to change that much, perhaps 10% churn and 15% added?

Once I have a snapshot of the Wiki, at a few minutes after 08:00 UTC, I'll unfreeze the Wiki for changes.

The Wiki is snapshot[1] again on 21 December at Midnight UTC for the Web-only release of the updated relnotes. That content is available for translation from CVS starting on 22 December by announcement to f-trans- list.

Thanks - Karsten [1] That's right, I verbified that sucker.
