The doc unfreeze before 3.5.1 was quite unfortunate, yes but please look at 
the commits and you'll see the amount of doc fixes that was done during that 
time. Anders Lund updated Kate and KWrite docs (HUGE work) and several people 
closed many bug reports. All people who pressed to have that unfreeze worked 
hard and it was really worth it.
If I ask now for an unfreeze along with some other people, it's because we 
already have patches pending. And we'll commit them.

As for KOffice documentation, I really don't see why that should interfere. 
Many translators started translating KOffice and they have still time. The 
KOffice docs were also HUGELY improved and that was done quite smoothly since 
a few months now. So no big amount of last-minute work for the translators 
here except KPlato doc which we are waiting for.

I think you (as you seem the guy deciding that sort of stuff) should set a 
date (in accord with coolo), not too close so people have time to prepare 
patches and announce it widely and hop we go. Just give us the chance to 
improve things the more we can.

Thanks
