We went back and forth on this. Having the jam earlier allows bug fixes and package updates, but it doesn't make sense for translations or even a lot of docs (screenshots) if it's before UI Freeze. There are some things that must be done earlier in the cycle, and some that must be done later, so no single date would allow for everything. > While the Docs team does appreciate having the Jam before freeze this > time (thank you!), it does mean they only have a week to review the > merge proposals before freeze, putting a bit of pressure on reviewing > these in addition to any other last minute things that need to be > (re)written. > Michael Hall mhall...@ubuntu.com -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
