At a minimum, I'd recommend something like the Fedora Docs schedule[1], which has the Preview Release string freeze effectively 17 March, 07 April for l10n that goes into the ISO, and 17 April for final that appears on the web/zero-day updates. Because web pages are instant publishing, our main blockers are: * Giving l10n enough time * Trying not to jam too much into the schedule at the same time For example, when everyone is busy finishing the software for the ISO, that is the time to hold off on pushing out POT updates for web-based content. Based on that, maybe something in between 07 and 17 April, such as 11 April would be a good string freeze for *all* websites, giving nearly three weeks for translation, QA, etc.? Another option is to go as late as possible, with 21 April being the absolute latest. The rule of thumb we've got from L10n in the past is, "10 days minimum, 14 days is best." - Karsten [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule/9 -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.
