Dear fellow Debian Installer translators,

I'll be away from any net access next week and thus won't be able to do the usual stuff I do for Debian Installer coordination work.

Dennis Stampfer (seppy@debian.org), Denis Barbier (barbier@debian.org) and, of course, the debian-boot@lists.debian.org contributors will be able to help out those of you who may need some help or information. Provided their other tasks leave them some free time, of course.

Please remember that this will be a "string freeze" week, so those of you who are near from complete translation, this IS the time you need to jump on your translation software and SVN commit everything you can.

The release work will start on April 24th, so you definitely need to have your translation complete before that date if you want your language to be listed in the "complete" list. This is, of course for 1st stage translations. 2nd stage are more difficult to complete because we depend on some other maintainers release cycle. At least try completing base-config and tasksel.

If some of you still don't have SVN commit access, please make your possible for getting it as this speeds up the process a LOT.

(svn.debian.org SSH host key fingerprint is cb:f3:37:51:d6:8a:54:25:11:f6:76:a0:96:0f:81:bc)

For very recent contributors (Vietnamese, Serbian, Hindi...) who are likely to miss the beta4 deadline, don't be disappointed : Debian Installer work is not finished wo you will be in for beta5....In the meantime, continue learning how to work and feel free to ask questions if you get lost (if you use debian-boot, please use a [l10n] marker).

Don't also forget about the #debian-boot channel on irc.debian.org : you will most often find helpful people there around, whichever hour you connect to the channel.

Happy translation work....
