Thunderbird 3 beta3 release schedule for localizers

[Simon Paquet]

Hey guys,

the Thunderbird developers have finalized the release schedule for
Thunderbird beta3. Here it is (Dates are 23:59 PST):

* Slushy String freeze date: 2009-04-21 (Tuesday)
* Slushy Code Freeze date: 2009-04-23 (Thursday)
* Firm String / Code freeze date: 2009-04-28 (Tuesday)
* l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 freeze date: 2009-04-30 (Thursday)
* Target Build Ship date: 2009-05-05 (Tuesday)

As with our beta2 release, these dates have the following goals:

* All string-related work should done by the slushy string
freeze date
* All other code-related work plus the late-string work should
ideally be done by the slushy code freeze date
* The firm freeze date will be for fixing remaining bugs and
regressions found in the nightlies
* The l10n-mozilla-1.9.1 date would be the last time by which
we would accept changes in localizations
* Late string changes will require an additional approval by the
beta3 release driver Dan Mosedale (dmose on IRC)

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to
respond here.

Thanks & Cya
Simon
