So, how is this for a proposed schedule then: February 28 as the cut off date for any new features, including any changes to text that would need to be translated by our many translators out there. March 1 - March 7 as a bug crushing week, and to put in the final pieces, including the latest translations from HTA. March 8 - 12 to test and work out any major showstoppers. with a possible release date 2-3 days after we declare it stable. March 14-17 possible release date. -scottmc
