In a global sense, what is meant by Tuesday morning? Does it mean
Tuesday, April 16th at 10:30 UTC as per:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LanguagePackTranslationDeadline 

(where it says the 18th on that page, but I think it meant the 16th.
Query sent to the last editor, but confusion added to me.)

I.E. That would mean Monday night for me. (I only work
on the serverguide, I just thought I would try to build this.)

One thing I always like to do is make no changes at all, but confirm
I can build the program, or docs in this case, then I know that any issues
could not possibly be because of some error in some change I make.

O.K. so it does not build for me. 
If I use:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/SystemDocumentation/BuildingDocume
ntation
and run ./autogen.sh, then it ends with:

" Now type `make' to compile ubuntu-docs"
Which results in:
" Nothing to be done for `all'."
And:
" Nothing to be done for `all-am'."

If I go to the next line of the above reference and run "make all" 
from the html directory, I get:

" *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop."

If I do as was suggested in this e--mail thread:

I get:
"Nothing to be done for `html'."
However, I can not find any html stuff anywhere.
