> Writing freeze in less than a week ... hm it may seem good to translators
like me but the team doesn't have to do things in a hurry because of date.
Write a good "Getting Started with Ubuntu 10.10" with no plans for second
edition ;), the team was behind the schedule this time (i think) so the
freeze date can be adjusted properly.

Keep it up guys !
