After few release the process is quite automatic, testing is always
done since eariel trunk (i have a locale testbed installation SVN
updated the same as local copy of POTs. Actually we were able to give
(since 2.5.X release) the new version available in it_IT ifew hours
after the english release (just the timezone difference) or at least
the day after. file that need manual "tweaks" like readme.html where
usually it's only the version number that change is already correctly
setted months ago.

For this release, as for every big change release we suggest people to
not ruch to update, this time more than before for plugin
incompatibility, automatic update that need to be tested on various
hosting provider etc. 2.7 is a bg change we suggest new and
unexpirienced people to wait a bit, few days, but we are ready fro a
huge amount of support question on our locale forum.

I uppsse you started this "work" not long time ago... we all had the
same problem, doubts and we get scared about large new version... :)

Cause 2.7 ill hit wordpress.com in a day or twoi suggest you, if
possible to work every day on new version keeping the trsanslation
alway updated and tryng to make version using the tools or
xx.wordpress.org site, we can wait release on wordpress.org in first
days of next week (i bet on thursday :)

When u make a new package it won't appear immediatly on download page,
the package is on build section and only when you click on Version
(under the action column) the package goes "online" and available to
public, but u can download it and use it to local o remote test on you
computer or testing space you habve on some server.

Then... relax, smile... and all will be ok... have a good work :)
