For future reference, here's how it works... and it's the same for any Guide (like the User Guide). An author can publish their document in any available languages at any time for any release. Ideally, all of the Guides are updated before each release, then published on the same day as the release itself. In reality, the Guides are slowly updated, and *if* a Guide is published for a particular release, it will usually show up anywhere from a month before to a month after the release date. We try to avoid updating the published books between releases. In my mind, the real reason is that it would make translation much more difficult: if we always keep the most recent English version in the translation system, it's changing too fast to complete a single, consistent translation. On the other hand, we could publish updated versions of the English only... but then that drifts away from any published non-English version, and could lead to confusion for readers who may be using both languages. Furthermore, it leads to a situation that *looks like* the Fedora Project holding up English as the best or most important language, when really I think most of us simply mean to say that English is the language we happen to use. At least for me, I would gladly write the Musicians' Guide concurrently in all four languages I know, except I don't have the specialist vocabulary... the reality is, English is the only language I can use well enough to write this document, and that's the reason its primary language is English. On the other hand, we can always use the "Draft Documentation" section for intermediate updates. Whew!
