Hello!

I recall you that our next release will be 2011-02 due to late February. We 
still have 4 weeks to do the necessary job.

Concerning languages, we'll have at least 3 more officially supported 
languages, Dutch, German and Chinese. I may add a new demo language, likely 
Indonesian (I won't have the time to setup a non-Latin environment such as 
needed for Hindi or Japanese). We can expect the following status for 
translations, please correct me if I'm lying ;) :

* Arabic → CD 30% translated
* Chinese → CD 100% + few web pages
* Dutch → CD 100% + few web pages
* English → 100%
* French → 100%
* German → CD 100% + few web pages
* Romanian → 100%
* Russian → 100%
* Serbian → CD 50% translated + main web pages
* Spanish → CD 80% translated + main web pages
* Ukrainian → CD 40% translated

NB: when I'm writing CD 100%, I don't take into account applications that would 
not be on Transifex but still require translation.

I ask translators to target the 18th February for the latest translation files 
to include in this release. As there are more and more CD's to upload, I'll 
need 2-3 days to upload all of them!

Concerning our website, we'll have to update documentation. If you want the CD 
to include the latest documentation available, the target is still the 18th 
February. Indeed PDF documentation is built from web pages then included in the 
CD. Currently we don't have so many pages to update because we're late for 
development :(. Marian will give us news when he detects changes in the English 
section.

If you look at our road map, you'll see the following list of technical tasks:

* redesign the hardware issue tool interface → not started yet (web page wanted)
* redesign the persistence tool interface → not started yet, I fear it's too 
much work to be done *and* tested before end of February
* provide a single image file for the CD and the USB key → trials failed until 
now, should likely be postponed
* write a nice interface to set date and time → on the road (Richard) (web page 
wanted)

On the other hand, new tasks have been added:

* a nice interface to set the session menu → on the road (JM) (web page wanted)
* additional sessions (pedagogical recommendations + sound volume) → not 
started (web page update required)

Finally there are also bug fixes to achieve, this is why I don't think our road 
map need to be adapted.

To conclude, some words about graphic design:

* a new banner on our website for next release would be appreciated (I'd like 
to change it for each release)
* we can start CD graphical design by changing the boot image and the session 
menu image, no matter if it is changed again when we'll have agreed on our 
mascot and our heros

I hope everyone has identified where (s)he has to provide his effort, if you 
believe that things are not so clear, please let me know.

Cheers,

JM.
