Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Please clarify translation deadlines

Hi Christian,

Thanks for the explanation. However, it's not explained on either of the 
wiki pages mentioned earlier that tags are created already on the 
previous week. Would you mind adding that bit of information?

Or better yet, there is a "whiteboard" feature in Weblate, which allows 
admins to send messages to translators. It would be good to have the 
deadlines announced in advance. Or this mailing list or the wiki could 
also be used.
