All times listed on our schedules are always UTC 2359 on the listed date. So if you're looking for that extra time, it's there! :-) > Do I have to do anything more, other than build it, and check it back into CVS? Just the building, but I will probably need to be around to help you with that, in case something goes awry. > What happens if a translation messes up the build? Is there time for > the translator to fix it? Not really, but sometimes the errors are simple, like a mistyped XML tag, meaning we can fix them ourselves. (You have to use a decent PO-aware tool, like... oh, Emacs! Gosh, is there nothing it can't do?) :-) In cases where the problem is *really* egregious, we have to disable the translation in question and notify the translator so they can fix it before GA. That rarely happens -- except when translators fail to translate the entities in docs-common, but in that case we can simply enter empty PO files and build anyway, notifying the translators of the need to take care of it in the next few weeks.
