Hi Robert,
Lightning follows the release cycle of Thunderbird and Firefox: a new
release every 6 weeks. Since it follows Thunderbird's release more
closely, there's actually a release only every ESR (which is when
Thunderbird releases), but beta versions are important to Seamonkey
users, which still release once every six weeks.
What might be confusing is that to sign off the correct revision in the
dashboard you don't have to sign off the calendar beta (or aurora) line,
but you have to sign off the Thunderbird one (if the revision you want
for calendar is newer than the signed off revision for Thunderbird,
otherwise it's already included).
Depending on how your team work, you might have to talk to the
Thunderbird translator and ask him if it's ok for him to sign off a
revision newer than the one he/she did.

Bye,
Iacopo
