I don't know what others think but based on this new information I would
like to move my proposed schedule a little bit.
Jan 24, 2014 feature freeze
Jan 27, 2014 translation freeze ...
Mar 21, 2014 RC1?
Apr 1, 2014  GA? (I like this date if possible)

In general I agree with the schedule, but what strikes me here is the 2 months between the translation deadline and the RC1. I know the integration work takes time, but 2 months seem excessive. This would mean that a translation completed in February must already wait for the (possible) language update release.

some time ago we have discussed a language only release on base of
4.0.1. And even a language release requires a lot of work. Until today I
see 3 potential languages ready which is not enough from my perspective.

We are now at 4 new languages at 100% (bg, da, nb, th). Even if your proposed schedule (new version) is respected, this means that Danish, that was completed back in October just after the 4.0.1 release, would stay unreleased until April. Thanks to your and Herbert's work we will have snapshots available for those languages from the buildbots in a couple days, so most of the integration work has already been done. Wouldn't it make sense to release 4.0.1 in the additional 4 languages in January, to avoid the 6-months gap?

Regards,
  Andrea.
