2.4: Hard Code Freeze: August 25th

[Murray Cumming <murrayc usa net>]

GNOME 2.4 is very much on track. Well done everyone. As per the schedule
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.3/ [1]
we will enter Hard Code Freeze after the Beta 2 tarballs, probably on
August 25th.

There should then be no source code changes. But translation and
documentation can continue because that is unlikely to affect stability.

If you think you need to break a freeze, here's what to do:

There's some more explanation of the various freezes here [2].

[1] Yes, the Hard Code Freeze was not on the schedule until now. Yes
that is really inept.
[2] It isn't just because we like using macho phrases like Hard Code
Freeze.
