deadlines
First priority is to get as much content as possible to translators on Thurs April 1 (no fooling).
best to do lots of easy fixes first. If you find a section that needs a major rewrite pull it out so that time is not wasted translating it. We will add it back in a big chunk when it is ready - like we have done with Connecting to Internet already.
