Comment (by ryelle):

 Ideally, a first pass of mostly-final content would be committed before
 beta 3 (Oct 10), so yes, **content ready by beta 2 (Oct 3)** to allow
 design a few days to work out the layout (as a reminder,
 [https://github.com/ryelle/about-patterns#about-page-patterns the layout
 framework & accents are detailed here]).

 Aiming for beta 2 allows for a little flexibility, and getting the content
 into a beta allows for a bit more feedback, since some people don't check
 out the content until that first commit.

 The hard deadline for final About page content is RC1 (Oct 17). After this
 point, there should be no content changes unless it's to fix factual
 errors. Changes like adding in images or polishing design are fine as long
 as they don't change the strings (content).

 > My only concern is that if, after Beta 2, there are any changes
 regarding the features that go into the release, we may also need to make
 changes to the content.

 Between beta 2 and RC, it's totally fine to make changes, but it will
 create a little more work for design/dev. It's understandable if features
 change, though.

 -------

 I also want to mention, since I usually build this page, that I won't be
 available after Oct 4th (I'll be on a 3-month sabbatical). I added my
 development process to [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about
 /release-cycle/preparing-the-about-page/#development the Preparing the
 About Page handbook] after the last release, and I'm happy to help get
 things prepared/answer questions before I leave.
