TeX Live 2013 --- until when can we work on the man pages?

TeX Live 2013 --- until when can we work on the man pages?

[Sietse Brouwer]

Hello all,

I didn't get around to working on the man pages these past 2 weeks.
Now, I just saw this timing plan on the TeX Live website:
http://www.tug.org/texlive/

March 27: sources committed, builds begin.
April 8: tlnet (and TL'12) frozen, tlpretest starts, CTAN updates
continue there.
May 20: complete freeze for final build, no more updates, final doc
tweaks, always more testing.

Does this mean any improvements to the man pages should be in on April
8; or that you want them May 20; or has the deadline already passed
and are any improvements due next year? Mojca, perhaps you know this?

Cheers,
Sietse

  The tlnet freeze means that there won't be any updates to TeX Live
2012 from that point, i. e., existing installations of TeX Live 2012
won't get any package updates using tlmgr. The relevant date for you is
20 May.

The first import of a recent ConTeXt into TeX Live should happen
around 8th April, but there will be time for updates and to fix
problems after that.

I believe that 20th May should be fine (but the date is not set in
stone yet, so it may vary a bit depending on feedback and problems).

No hurry with that ... it's not like context users are using those pages 
frequently. Lets's stick with what we have not for texlive 2013 and let 
improvements go into versions after current.

Unless something is badly broken we'll freeze, won't we? At some point I 
want to go ahead,
