I haven't finished many parts of the doc/el_GR.ISO8859-7 tree and I'm only
recently beginning to see people who are interested to actually contribute
stuff. It is rather early to ask for a freeze in the English documentation,
to let Greek translators catch up, since we are trying to come up with a
somewhat up to date translation of the documents.
This is not a bad idea, though. I've seen kuriyama-san's speedy updates to
the Japanese tree, and eventually I want to bring the Greek translation to
a similar state. Perhaps, other translators think of this as a good thing
too? Having about a week of time to update the release notes before a
release is cut seems a good idea, IMO.
