I haven't finished many parts of the doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7 tree and I'm only recently beginning to see people who are interested to actually contribute stuff. It is rather early to ask for a freeze in the English documentation, to let Greek translators catch up, since we are trying to come up with a somewhat up to date translation of the documents. This is not a bad idea, though. I've seen kuriyama-san's speedy updates to the Japanese tree, and eventually I want to bring the Greek translation to a similar state. Perhaps, other translators think of this as a good thing too? Having about a week of time to update the release notes before a release is cut seems a good idea, IMO.
