Here's a link to the milestones on the launchpad site for saucy
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual/saucy From the site, it looks like
these are the milestones:

1st draft due 09-19-2013
edited draft due 10-03-2013
public draft due 10-07-2013
final draft due 10-14-2013
release due 10-17-2013

So, the authors should pretty much have their sections written by
mid-September, and final editing done by the first part of October.

Have a great day.:)
Patrick.
