doc schedule for FC5

[Karsten Wade]

Pardon the cross-post, this is important enough to deserve it. :)

This schedule has been discussed with translation, so should fit into
their needs.

This is more than a draft, but there is room for some change if you can
make a good case.

Here is the test1 excerpt for discussion:

Test1
  24 Oct.	Relnote content frozen for trans
  28 Oct.	Guides content frozen for trans
  31 Oct.	Relnotes freeze for trans
  01 Nov.	Relnotes freeze for release (ISO)
  02 Nov.	Final ISO spin.
  04 Nov.	Guides trans freeze
  05 Nov.	Guides frozen for release (Web)
  07 Nov.	Test1 release

Translation has asked for a week to do appropriate translation.  This
will result in up-to-date content missing from the release notes.
Here is how we address that:

 * Early requests for relnotes
 * Publicize this schedule, no surprises
 * First and most prominent link at the top of the relnotes points the
reader at the online version of the relnotes
   * This online version will be updated the day of FC release
   * Will be in CVS
   * Will need translation ASAP
     * This helps make the next trans cycle shorter
     * Will be posted live in rolling releases
