Status Going Forward: Thursday, 5 March Deadline

[Geertjan Wielenga < >]

Hi all,

You might have missed it, but the 'Completed' percentage is over 50% already:

That's really good going.

In contracts and other documents received from the publisher, it states that we will hand off all our work on March 9, which means it will have been edited and transferred to templates and so on.  Which means all chapter should be set to 'Translated' by  the end of Thursday,, 5 March.

That's not the coming Monday, but the Monday after that. Yes, very close by. And the date is somewhat of a surprise. On the other hand, it makes sense if we want to have the book available at the beginning of June.

Right now, I have nothing left to translate -- everything I had is either being edited or has been returned to Heiko. If anyone has anything I could be working on, please drop me an e-mail. I'm happy to finish anyone else's chapter, or take over a whole chapter, or whatever you like, especially if the 9 March deadline looks scary to you. :-)

Apologies for this sudden deadline, but we're really working on the fly here.
