BTW, the unstable report page makes me nervous. I can't get 100%
complete translation, simply because of adding new modules and
strings. :-((((

Anyway, will be there a message freeze before GNOME 2? It was lifted some
time ago...

This is another issue, where KDE greatly respects the translators. I'm
pretty happy when I've got a week to update the translation for a GNOME
module.  In KDE, there are weeks of message freeze, see
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.0-release-plan.html

Again, a policy should be introduced for core modules only (we need the
list), but it needs to be there. The dot.plan should clearly state the
the message freeze. And the translators should get a clear
information, what is the last day for commits of new translations.
