When the document is finished, the document should be edited by another member of the GDP for spelling, clarity, and DocBook markup. It should also be read by an application author to make sure the document is technically accurate.

After the document has been edited and checked for technical accuracy, it is ready to be combined with the application or documentation package. This is typically done by passing the document to the application or package developer. In some cases, the documents can be committed directly into CVS, however this should only be done after obtaining permission to make CVS commits from the developer. Note that in many cases, the application may need to be modified to correctly link to the documentation. The packaging system (tarballs and binary packages) may also need to be modified to include the documentation in the package. Generally, this should be done by the developers.

The final step is to email the GNOME Translation Team at <gnome-i18n@nuclecu.unam.mx> to notify them that there is a new document for them to translate.
