The elections timeline specifies a date for the announce of the official
list of candidates. This date is today.

Jeff was traveling and his bag with laptop and more was stolen, so he
might have not been able to send his candidacy because of this.

(this is not a "Jeff's candidacy is accepted" statement, btw)

If you're talking about the 75 words summary, it's ASAP. In fact,
candidates should already have sent them to the elections committee.

Most of your questions have answers in the announce of the elections:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/2005-November/msg00000.html

and also on the Foundation website:
http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2005/rules.html

If the announce was not clear or if the informations can not be easily
found, please send a mail to the committee so it can be improved next
year.

Thanks,

Vincent
