Angie, how much time do we have?<br><br>I'd like to do a quick user experience exercise on Drupal terminology and see if we can reduce the amount of newbie forehead slapping in D6.<br><br>Kieran<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Just a reminder that, like last release, we should shoot to have all<br>strings in core "frozen" by RC 1.<br><br>A string freeze means that there can be no changes to anything in a t<br>() function (user/admin-facing text) after that point, unless it
<br>fixes some kind of "critical" bug (typos, just plain wrong, etc.).<br>This is particularly important, given that Drupal 6 is going to be<br>our "internationalization release" ... the quicker the translators
<br>have a solid base from which to translate, the more translations we<br>can get out the door by release time!<br><br>So before then (no idea when this will be for sure, but it would<br>probably be good to get these wrapped up within the next month to be
<br>safe) is the time to roll the following kinds of patches (or create<br>issues to identify problems):<br>- Improving documentation in places so that it is more clear.<br>- Adding new documentation where none exists.<br>
- Fixing grammar mistakes, typos, etc.<br><br>For any new issues you create, please preface them "String freeze:<br>[description of thing here]" so that they're easy to find.<br><br>Incidentally, these are also great patches for absolutely *anyone*
<br>wanting to get their fingers into core -- no coding skills required!<br>There are folks standing by in #drupal who would love to walk you<br>through how to make your first core patch. :)<br><br>-Angie<br>--<br>Pending work:
