* 2 weeks before release finish (get legal, marketing and engineering approval(s) if necessary) English Language SUMO articles and set to ready for localization

'''END DESKTOP CHECKLIST'''

= META FAQ =
* Q: Why is this on wiki.mozilla.org? A: because it is open, editable and discoverable by all  unlike Google Docs, trello, taiga, etc
* Q: Who is the audience for this checklist? A: Everybody not just SUMO folks! Namely: ALL MoFo, MoCo staff and volunteers not just SUMO staff and volunteers. This way everybody is exposed to the incredible :-) amount of yak shaving we have to do around releases.
* Q: How will this Checklist be used? A: This wiki page will be used to manually create public Trello cards. And then from checklist for that release we will link to the cards for that release. e.g. the [[SUMO/Desktop_Release_Checklist/Firefox_55_Desktop_Release_Checklist|Firefox 55 desktop checklist]] will link to the 55 desktop release Trello cards
