Documentation Related to the Release Schedule
John Poelstra has requested the creation of a wiki page, outlining information related to the requirements and consequences in line with the 'Software Translation Deadline' milestone[1]. Currently, John is working to get in place a wiki page(link) for each milestone in the Fedora Schedule.
At present, the upcoming milestone for the Fedora Localization Project is the 'Fedora 13 Final Software Translation Period' scheduled to end on March 23rd 2010[2].
Hivex and kf Translations Submission Issues Corrected
Daniel Cabrera from the Spanish team notified[1] that libguestfs and hivex modules pointed to the same bug component for translation submissions on translate.fedoraproject.org. This was corrected[2] by Piotr Drag and the page for now points to the correct bug for hivex.
Thomas Canniot from the French team intimated[3] about availability of the long dormant, kf package in translate.fedoraproject.org. This has been moved to the 'Deprecated' section by Piotr[4].
PulseAudio Translation Submission Disabled
Translations for the PulseAudio modules (PulseAudio, PulseAudio Preferences, PulseAudio Volume Control) can now be submitted via transifex.net. Hence, these modules have now been disabled for submission on translate.fedoraproject.org[1][2][3].
Transifex v 0.8 rc1Upcoming Release
Dimitris Glezos informed about the upcoming string freeze and release of transifex v.0.8 rc1 and has invited translators to update translations[1].
Meanwhile, extensive tests are underway by FLP members for multiple file based documentation modules, on the translate.fedoraproject.org staging server running transifex v 0.7.4[2][3].

Pavel V Tyutin (Russian)[1], Pablo Diale (Spanish)[2], Andrea La Fauci (Italian)[3], Imtiaz Rahi (Bengali)[4] joined the Fedora Localization Project recently.
