Yes, that's the reason why we need to do that sooner. The more we postpone that reorganization - the more problems we will have (amount of posts on the forum is growing, we have more and more new users, more documentation...). I think Carlos will agree to handle changes in code (change only labels, not variables). I can take responsibility for changes in documentation. But I will need help of you all to review the wiki pages (we can split the data into parts, for example I will review pages starting with A-H, someone else - H-O, etc...) Forums will stay untouched. The problem is that the changes in documentation need to be done quickly and this process should be synced with the release. Changing and reviewing documentation is a LOT of work. I think we can fit that into one week. So we need to define our schedule. I will be available in periods 10-30 June and 10 July - 30 August. (On summer I will be working on Morevna, but I will be able to fit one week of documentation + release routines). My suggestion is to plan release on 30 June or 30 July and work on documentation changes a week before the release.
