My SF contact isn't in much of a hurry about it. He says it'll probably be in the September-October timeframe.
That said, if you want a head start you don't need to be in the system to do about 95% of the work. While you can't actually submit any information until they ask for it, the form itself
is online and you can fill it out and sit on it until they let you turn it in.
You're not kidding about it being a lot of work though.
