[Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] 0.96 String/UI Freeze freeze the 27th of February 2012

[Simon Schampijer]

Hi,

the UI and String Freeze for Sugar 0.96 is the 27th of February 2012 [1].

===UI Freeze===
Major UI revisions or changes must be done before this date. This 
encourages developers to focus on stability and bug-fixing rather than 
UI changes. At this point, documentation writers do not have to worry 
that their work will become outdated.
If you really need to do an UI change you have to ask an exception from 
the release team and must notify the documentation team when accepted [2].

===String Freeze===
After this date every string change has to be requested and to be 
approved. Please send an exception to the localization at lists.laptop.org 
localization list and sugar-devel at lists.sugarlabs.org if you need to 
break the string freeze and ask for an exception. The localization team 
lead and two members of the release team need to approve such a break [3].


The following Features have been landed [4]. I would like to ask all of 
the Feature owners to update their pages to reflect the current status.

- please update the completeness (100% means the Feature has been 
accepted and merged by the maintainer)
- please fill in the release notes section
-please fill in the 'How to Test' section so testers can start testing


Regards,
    Simon
