I do agree with the schedule on a globally, I'm only disagreeing on 
something that is important for translators, AFAICT.

My point of view is real up-to date translations didn't make it into 
2.8.0 because translators didn't have enough time. Any other idea to 
give translators more time is welcome. This is the only reason why I 
thought I had to vote -1.

I'm only asking for changes that will make things easier to read for me. 
If I want to know which activities have started, I check past and 
current months start date column. If I want to know which activities 
should be over, I check past and current months due date column.

If an activity runs starts and is due in different months, we could add 
(start) to the activity label with start date as only date in the start 
month and (due) to the activity label with due date as only date.

What do others think ?

I didn't know it was an attachment. :(

Edit in Office doesn't work with OpenOffice. I could remove your file 
and add another one, but we would loose history. If you don't mind, tell 
me. Search for 2.8 and transalation will lead you to the places that 
need updates.
