 Replying to [comment:3 igor]:
 > I prefer to use the formatted wiki test day result page as before. I
 intend to keep the l10n template just as a guide for translation teams to
 know which modules need testing, but it also have to be updated.

 installation. Mainly regarding langpacks for Firefox 4 and Libre Office.
 And we also should target font rendering and input methods as usual.

 Langpack is good idea to test. Libre office has separate packages, but
 firefox don't have separate. Also we can test Language group support,
 which is by default installed by fedora (yum groupinstall
 <LANGUAGE>-support).

 for Rendering and Input, we can have 4 basic test groups:
  - pango - gedit/firefox
  - qt - kwrite
  - icu - libre office
  - input - ibus
  - Printing - (can be print to file only - ps/pdf/svg)

 > We have two different groups of i18n test cases: installation and
 desktop related ones. So I'd divide the test days into those two groups
 rather than into i18n and l10n. Testers will hit both i18n and l10n bugs
 while running the tests anyway, and sometimes depending of the bug will be
 hard to figure out if it is a i18n or l10n bug at the moment, what can be
 done by further bug triage.

 installation and desktop can better idea than i18n/l10n grouping. Actually
 Rendering/Input/Font Testing requires few applications (as above), while
 for Basic translated Desktop we can test all default installed application
 (with desktop) for a language.

 > Of course we can try another approach, but since we have an intersection
 between l10n and i18n I think we can use it in our favor.

 Can we use hybrid (mixed) approach?
  - installation - i18n/l10n (Single)
  - Desktop - two separate
            - l10n (Translation of default installed application)
            - i18n (input/rendering/printing) with one (or two) from each
 rendering engine.
