Updated Documentation and Translation Schedule for Fedora 13
Representatives of the Fedora Translation and Documentation Projects met with John Poelstra to discuss the Project Schedule for Fedora 13[1]. Noriko Mizumoto represented the FLP. The highlights include the elimination of the Alpha and Beta freezes for Release Notes and Guides, which will allow the translators to continue working on the documents as they are being written.
The updated schedule[2] has been put up by John Poelstra at the following place:

QA Testing for FLP
Noriko Mizumoto initiated a discussion[1] with the Fedora Quality Assurance team regarding the Localization testing events that are planned during the Fedora 13 Release Schedule. This phase was introduced during Fedora 12 development, to allow translators to review their translations on the graphical user interface and to ensure that updated translations and their fixes were being included in the newer builds.
James Laska from the Fedora QA team has been providing guidance[2][3] to formalize a test plan and to draw up the reference documentation that can be used for the testing plan.
Domingo Becker and Igor Pires Soares highlighted the need for testing the Installation Program - Anaconda[4] and the difficulty that a LiveCD installation poses while testing its interface[5].

Status of Transifex Upgrade
As an update to the earlier discussion about upgrading the Transifex instance for translate.fedoraproject.org[1], Paul Frields thanked the Fedora Project members who have been working to fix the issues preventing the upgrade. The work was temporarily suspended due to the holiday break[2]. After the required packages were built by Rakesh Pandit and Jens Petersen, presently Toshio Kuratomi and Ricky Zhou have been trying to set up a staging server[3].
CVS Submission Connection Broken
Iñigo Varela from the Asturian translation team reported a problem[1] with submission of files on translate.fedoraproject.org. Piotr Drag identified a broken connection with cvs.fedoraproject.org as the cause for this problem[2].
Yum Translation Submissions on transifex.net
Translations for Yum can now be submitted via transifex.net[1].
