Thank you for these good news, confirming that recent lives start working.
I've read others posts too.
Please notice that we are NOT using any TC or RC. Because those 
generally do not contain latest translation, and no point to have 
l10n-qa-test with such image. The image must be composed specifically 
for l10n-qa-test with latest translation by release engineering, and 
will be composed for this purpose. This has been discussed, confirmed 
and approved between FLSCO and FESCO. Besides, TC or RC may be used for 
i18n-qa-test. These two tests are different with separate purpose and 
process.

A request of repackaging with latest translation and a request of 
composing the image from them are made to fedora package maintainers and 
release engineering respectively, a week and a few days before the test 
day accordingly. It means that allowing more time increases the chance 
for smaller teams to have a image with more translation completed to 
test. In other words, a image to be composed end of next week can 
contain more translation than a image to be composed end of this week. 
With this point of view, I see beneficial to follow the slip. In 
addition, assuming many or some of translators are also busy translating 
Gnome 3.6 which translation deadline is 25-Sep and will be part of F18, 
it would also be good idea to have qa-test-day on 27-Sep after this due.

However, if majority of translators feel comfortable to stick with 
2012-09-20, l10n-qa-test should be organized with such date.
I will be out of town tomorrow and Friday and no access to internet. If 
l10n-qa-test day stays same 2012-09-20, the above requests need to be 
organized asap.  Could you please someone organize instead? Repackaging 
request simply can be sent out to devel-announcement ML. For composing, 
please refer to the tickets [1] and [2].
