Thanks John for looking into this, otherwise the suggestions were almost
lost in the threads. :)
I refer this schedule:

Well, I was expecting task 19 and 20 to be *repeated* somewhere between
task 5 and 11. Basically, I want the package rebuilds to happen before
we start to review software translations, then only there is a point in
dividing the translation task into Translation and Review.

Actually building of HTML files should happen every hour (or two or four
or half a day) automatically through some cronjob. I think Ricky might
be able to help us with it. It will not require to be there in the
schedule I guess since it's going to be automated cronjob running
periodically.
