Hi everyone,

At today's Camino meeting, there was a proposal introduced for a new 
schedule for Camino 2.0.  The proposal treats the just-released 
Camino 2.0b3 as "almost string frozen", with the final l10n freeze to 
come soon in an arbitrary nightly build once bug 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391076 is fixed.  Under 
this proposal, the final release would then come in about three weeks 
after that nightly, as we polish off the last bugs and website 
updates.

The reasoning driving this proposal is that, at this point, Gecko 
1.9.0 has become stable enough for Camino that not shipping the 
existing benefits of Camino 2.0 (both application features and Gecko 
improvements) to users outweighs the benefits of the unfinished 
features we'd be waiting on under the existing plan.

As part of our evaluation of this proposal, it would be very helpful 
to hear from every l10n team about their status on Camino 2.0 
translations.  Your status will affect not only our decision on the 
proposal but also, if the proposal is adopted, what sort of Camino 
Multilingual release accompanies the English-only release (if only a 
few languages are ready, shipping a simultaneous Camino Multilingual 
may not be the best option).

Is your status:

* Have done no work on Camino 2.0
* Have done some work on Camino 2.0, but have not had a complete 
translation at any point
* Have done a complete translation of Camino 2.0 Alpha 1
* Have done a complete translation of Camino 2.0 Beta 1
* Have done a complete translation of Camino 2.0 Beta 2
* Have done a complete translation of Camino 2.0 Beta 3
* Something else

Also, I know it's the traditional European holidays season, so if you 
or your team are about to be on holidays and won't be able to work on 
Camino for the next {two weeks|month|two months}, that would also be 
useful to know.

Again, this is only a proposal at this point, but it is one that we 
are evaluating seriously, so your information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Smokey
