HEADS UP: doc/ tree tagging schedule

[Hiroki Sato]

Hi all,

 Just a reminder, here is doc/ related schedule for 5.3-RELEASE
 (see also http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/schedule.html):

 09/17:

   The doc/ tree slush begins.  The purpose of the doc/ slush is
   to slow down the rate of change in that tree in order to allow
   the translation teams time to finalize their work and to avoid
   last-minute breakage for the 5.3-RELEASE.  If we can resolve
   problems before this expected date, doc/ slush could start
   earlier (09/10 at earliest).

   As usual, doc/ slush is not a real freeze and requires no formal
   commit approval procedure for your commit, but you are kindly
   requested not to commit large, structural changes during that period.

 09/24:

   The doc/ tagging for 5.3-RELEASE (RELEASE_5_3_0) is expected
   on September 24.

 For commit policy during 5.3R release engineering cycle, please read
 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/policy.html carefully.
 Documentation fixes are encouraged to be submitted as a PR and
 to be reviewed, and changes for docs in src/ (e.g. manual pages)
 should be committed the parent branch (currently HEAD) first.
 Especially if you think you will work on TODO items in
 http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/todo.html, please
 contact doc at FreeBSD.org mailing-list and/or the responsible
 persons listed, and follow the policy in order to sort out
 outstanding problems.

 If you have trivial change (such as typo fix) which does not need
 to be reviewed closely, or you are not familiar with send-pr,
 feel free to submit your idea/suggestion/patch to doc at FreeBSD.org.
 If you are one of the committers and do not know if committing
 your patch is reasonable or not, please ask re@ (for src/) or
 doceng@ (for doc/).  Basically, when it is small and do not need
 any technical review, you can commit it onto HEAD now.

 Thank you for your cooperation and keep up the good work!
