Greetings L10N folk!
Due to scarce personnel resources we are running a couple of days behind our schedule[1] for the Docs Project. However, I am getting the Release Notes ready for a POT drop today. Although the schedule currently has a "deadline" of 23 September, we will be extending this until about 26 September (2007-09-26).
However, please keep in mind that your team does *NOT* need to complete ALL work by that date. Due to last-minute bug fixes and other errata, you can expect a few string changes over the next few weeks, although we will strive to keep them to an absolute minimum. You will need to complete all work by the listed date of 21 October (2007-10-21), subject to change if there are slips affecting the overall release schedule[2].
In the past we have included only finished release notes in the test3 release of Fedora, but that will NOT be the case for F8 test3. Any team that works on their release notes translation will have their work included in F8 test3. We would still like to include only finished translations in the final version to emphasize the professional polish of the distribution, but since I now have greater access to the fedora-release-notes package in the distribution, we will be more able to bring an update package into Fedora 8 during its cycle if additional languages are finished by some deadline date on which we can jointly agree.
Reminder: the full fedora-release-notes package includes material from the following modules:
* release-notes * homepage * about-fedora <-- (Almost no changes since F7) * readme * readme-live-image * readme-burning-isos <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
For the best locale representation, make sure you visit each of these modules for updates. Also, please remember to check that the po/LINGUAS file in each module is updated to include your locale, so it will be built by our tools! Thanks to everyone for your great work, it's a pleasure to work with you. If you have any problems, please contact us at fedora-docs-list.

Thank you so much giving us clear picture! Now I have a couple of questions, can I?
* Should we need to update pot/po files for those manually? * I've edited some LINGUS to include ja, then found that 'readme/' and 'readme-burning-isos/' have no LINGUS under po/. What to do?
- release-notes
- homepage
- about-fedora <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
- readme
- readme-live-image
- readme-burning-isos <-- (Almost no changes since F7)
Many thanks noriko

- Should we need to update pot/po files for those manually?
I guess that depends on where you're getting them. If I remember correctly, I've updated all the new POT/PO in Docs CVS, so if you normally pull your POT/PO directly from CVS, you should be able to just "cvs up" to get the latest. If you pull from the Damned Lies interface at translate.fp.o, I believe that system automatically has the latest POT/PO as well.
- I've edited some LINGUS to include ja, then found that 'readme/' and
'readme-burning-isos/' have no LINGUS under po/. What to do?
I just fixed this problem as well; sorry for the inconvenience.

I did from CVS, so they should be latest. Thank you!
