Comment (by ryelle):

 I'm just going to jump in early to suggest some deadlines so that we're
 not rushing at the last minute.

 Since the hard string freeze (RC1) is **March 7th**, that means the page
 needs to be **done and coded before that date** (minor iterations after
 this point are OK).

 Personally, I like getting a draft of the About Page in with soft string
 freeze/beta 4 (Feb 28).

 I'm not sure how long design will take, but a week is probably safe?
 Especially if the header & style exploration are started earlier. So I'd
 suggest a content deadline of **Feb 14th** — this is beta 2, so hopefully
 at this point we know what features will be in the release.

 I know this is an aggressive timeline, but last release I wasn't able to
 start building the page until the night before RC1, and this builds in
 some buffer for delays and/or iterations. Also, this is meant to start a
 discussion so we can all be on the same page, not dictate deadlines.
