Hopefully this will make it clear which versions belong to a specific pre-release of 4.14 and will help with testing the platform as a whole.

> 30th of June: 4.14-pre2
> 28th of July: 4.14-pre3 (optional; possibly also 4.14-final)

> In all seriousness: almost anyone can help! We'll try to provide a Docker container of xfce-test (https://github.com/schuellerf/xfce-test) for each of the pre-releases which can help with testing (and reporting bugs), doing translations, screenshots, docs etc.
