I meant to say that I like the idea of a 'doc freeze before the release', since it will give translators some time to catch up with the English versions of important documents. I would like to have at least the release notes and a first cut at the Handbook, translated by the time 4.6 hits the shelves, but when I say it's too early to ask for a freeze I meant that the Greek translation I'm pushing through it's first stages, doesn't have enough of the documentation translated to justify a freeze request. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
