Yes, I think in my last message I have indicated that we are approaching
some internal deadlines here. We have already started preparing a public
announcement and some related event for the end of March - 27th and 28.
That's our absolute deadline we must be working towards. We just did a
last round of comments on the final czech wording, received several
comments and suggestions which we will incorporate promptly.

Although I know that there is a discussion going on about this, It was
not my understanding that this is holding us back completely. If that's
the case, can you please use your powers you to speed this up? Maybe
Catharina would like to comment here.

Yes, it is rather complete (to be honest I'm not quite sure who did it),
but needs complete revision and changes so that it reflects the latest
versions.
