If you want to insert an extra beta, i like to keep the usual interval for \
beta's. That way the schedule from now on would be like this:

=== Monday, December 13, 2010: Documentatin Freeze ===
No more substantive changes to documentation or handbooks after this date. \
Typos, spelling and simple grammar changes are permitted.

=== Thursday, December 16, 2010: Beta 3 Tagging ===
Trunk is frozen for beta release tagging. Only urgent fixes, such as those \
fixing compilation errors, should be committed. The usual beta rules apply \
as soon as the Beta tarballs have been generated.

=== Wednesday, December 22, 2010: Beta 3 Release ===
The beta becomes available for general consumption.

=== Monday, January 3, 2011: Tagging Freeze  for Release Candidate 1 ===
During tagging freeze only compilation fixes for all platforms are allowed \
to be committed. Everything else (even showstopper fixes) *have* to be run \
through reviewboard, with the release-team and the affected maintainers as \
reviewer. 

=== Monday, January 3, 2011: Hard API Freeze ===
To allow the bindings people to have proper time to do there work in \
preparation to the final release, the API is now frozen. No more changes to \
APIs or header files (except docs) after this date, including older APIs \
and newly introduced libraries/APIs.

=== Monday, January 3, 2011: Hard Message Freeze ===
Up to now you were able to do typo changes, but you had to mail \
kde-i18n-doc saying you made a typo fix change. From this moment on you \
need to contact kde-i18n-doc for every single string change, if noone \
objects in 5 days you can commit the change.

=== Monday, January 3, 2011: Artwork and Bindings Freeze ===
All artwork is frozen on this date. No new artwork should be added. \
Existing artwork can continue to be tweaked and fixed.

No new additions to the language bindings, except optional bindings as \
permitting by the kde-bindings team.

=== Tuesday, January 4, 2011: Release Candidate 1 Tagging ===
Trunk is frozen for release candidate tagging. Only urgent fixes, such as \
those fixing compilation errors, should be committed. 

=== Wednesday, January 5, 2011: Release Candidate 1 Release ===
The release candidate is tagged from the branch. Only urgent fixes, such as \
those fixing compilation errors, should be committed.As soon as the RC has \
been confirmed to build it will be released immediately.

=== Monday, January 17, 2011: Tagging Freeze  for Release Candidate 2 ===
