http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-14/f-14-releng-tasks.html
is probably the best place, which was linked to from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Schedule

That's still something that needs testing, needs a testing plan, needs
coordination.  Not something that can easily be slapped together in the
less than one week since the concept became visible here.

You need to speak to Fedora legal to figure out what your obligations are.

All the other things the project produces are made available on the
website in binary form, alongside the source.  It is not clear to me if
your combined media set will be made available online in any way.  It is
not clear to me if a binary aggregate of all the spins can be satisfied
by the sources we have online.  It is not clear to me what method of
GPLv2 source obligations you will be using when distributing these
binary offerings.

I understand you are frustrated, but cheap shots like this aren't going
to make people any more likely to pay attention or help you.
