I found this thread now and forwarded it to translator-l, for asking
for translation, if they think it appropriate: but there are only four
days until the announced deadline.
Michael, could you please extend it, say, one more week? For most of
non-English community, regarding the time of translation, even if they
luckily get their own language version of the draft, they may have
only one or two days. Still one week is shorter, but better than
nothing.
Cheers,
