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 ===
