First, thank you to bring the discussion here. That was part of my job
as NL representative at the CC, but good you've done it ;)

As part of the requirements you are asking for, I would like to be more
precise on the steps we are talking about :
- are we speaking about language packs for RC to be distributed on the
mirrors
- are we speaking about full binaries at the same stage and as you said
for what plateform
I think several l10n or NLC projects are not aware of the necessary
steps to provide in version their language, this was the question of
Belayneh yesterday and nobody answered him yet, so it's important to
have some definitions also.
Martin asked about with or without JRE. What is the prerequisite for
your languages, could we have a common decision on this or is it a case
by case?

May be we could say that you have tried to put in relation qa,
distribution projects and l10n project :)
Thanks again,
Kind regards
