Josh is 100% correct here.  The central co-ordination language we use is
English, and that version of the Press Release needs to be in a
finalised and read-only state so the translators have something to work
from.

Having it change mid-translation or after-translation can get messy
fast.

It's possible to "freeze" a page in the PostgreSQL Guides section from
edits/comments/etc, easily.  It's a simple permissions checkbox that is
changed for that page through the web-based Zope Management Interface.

We should probably create accounts for a few recognised Advocacy members
on the Zope side of things, so that admin related changes like this can
be done with a minimum of delay.  Very small learning curve involved.
