If you have problems accessing the staging area, poke folks in #qa, there is a testing account for stage that singled out folks can get to.
Note, the staging phase is supposed to end RSN, maybe somewhat within 24 hours. I didn't catch that part of the meeting due to phone problems.
Anyway, we have reconsidered and we're not going to make the web pages part of the sign-off.
So, if you can download the builds via all-rc.html as posted earlier, get your community to report back on litmus tests, and close your localization ship bugs as appropriate by Thursday.
Thanks
Axel

What is a staging area? And why do I need "a testing account for stage" ?? "singled out folks" ?!?!?

What is RSN?

To stage means (at least in website language) to put up a testing server and give limited access to that to test how the site would look once it is live. For access to that area, as well as write access to work on the translations, you need an ldap account, which is the stuff that pascalc is handling. Just that some folks didn't receive their account yet, so QA has offered to give out the password to their shared account to individual folks.

I already went through the bugs and pinged there, did that on my (newly created) blog, and now I'll do it here.
Sign-off are coming in one by one, testing reports seem to be proceeding nicely.
To clarify, the litmus tests are something we would like to have to give us more of that warm fuzzy feeling we have when releasing a localized Firefox. It's not a blocker, it's merely a way to report back on your testing in some structured way.
