{i} TBD {i} As of the current state of the spec, the following areas can be localized:
 * Firefox bookmarks
 * Firefox start page
 * Unity launchers
 * Rhythmbox/Banshee radio stations
 * Language pack
 * Installation of additional packages
 * Background image
 * Keyboard layout

The idea of this page is to act as a place for brainstorming on aspects related to how we do the testing and rollout of the new localized ISO images, as drafted on the desktop-o-cd-localization spec.

Contact persons for initial tests

We would like to test the initial prototypes for a set of languages, and thus we would like to have a contact person or owner for each of these languages, with the idea of adding them to the ../ReleaseImageContacts page or to create a dedicated page for localized ISO testing.

Please add yourself to the list if you'd like to contribute to your language's ISO. Thanks a lot for your help!
