I also think one week before a release is reasonable. Personally, three days are enough for me and more than one week is too long, but as Kuriyama-san said, it depends on how long time we can spend on the work around the release point. Perhaps for translation teams, the fact that English documents would be frozen at a certain point of time is important. However, although Japanese team is not using our own CVS tree for the work now, some other teams using their own CVS tree may need additional time to synchronize each other. I think one week long can be common ground in either case, and at least there is no objection to this idea in Japanese mailing-list. mwlucas> The release notes would enter a "soft freeze" during that time.

Yes, I agree with your idea if the exceptional changes are informed the translation teams well. -- | Hiroki Sato | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
