If it can help, for the features list, I've ask that an issue is open 
each time a new feature is implemented, so I think we'll find a special 
tag on BZ, then we can retrieve a the new features very quickly and more 
often than now, where it only happens long after feature freeze.
Also, I'll try to add details for the l10n/doc/marketing projects.

So we should be able to have the beginning of the schedule (I'm going to 
put the one for 3.3 online today), with the feature freeze date, l10n 
hand off, etc, that should help to draw the roadmap for 3.4 and 3.x.
In any case, Cor, if you need help, don't hesitate to ping me.

Kind regards
Sophie
