Welcome back!!

Let's see:

Seed Freeze: no further modifications to the list of packages, except
   for some exceptions.

Upstream Version Freeze: no newer version of packages are accepted,
   except for some exceptions.

Feature Freeze: no new features are worked on.  Work focuses on
   bugfixes.

Preview Freeze: preparation of the preview CD: only selected fixes go
   it.  After preview CD releases, this freeze end and we go back to
   Feature Freeze.

Final Freeze: preparation for the release: only selected fixes go in.

Full Freeze: distribution releases, development moves to the new
   FunkyAnimal except for security updates.

(more info on http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HoaryReleaseSchedule: all
the freeze names are linked to details).

I couldn't find mention of an hard freeze, though.

It's been wished to try to have all the documentation ready by week 23,
that is feb 21, to give enough time to translators to chew on things.
We see what we can do.


Ciao,

Enrico
