Tuesday(2011-03-01) as installation test day like Adam suggested. How
about the desktop part? If all of these are included, do you think one day
is enough for desktop?

yes, it can be helpful if we will do i18n (limited application set) and
l10n (major applications in default desktop) Testing.

translation testing after that (2011-03-17...). i18n part can be done
before that.

and before the translation deadline. It looks like the optimal situation
to me. It gives an opportunity for translators to do runtime checking.
Otherwise, if they find a translation error after the translation deadline
then maintainers could refuse to rebuild a package because of an error in
a specific language or to change a string that will impact several
languages, what could lead to translation rework after the deadline.

translations until 2011-03-01. Anyway, we still have an open slot in
2011-03-17 but it is two close from translation deadline which might not
give enough time for maintainers to rebuild their packages. I would
suggest 2011-03-31 but I'm afraid it is too late in the release cycle.
yes, there is risk. packages may not be rebuild and if we test on
2011-03-31 , we expect that only critical issues can be fixed for
i18n/l10n (with Beta). (One thing can be helpful is Gnome 3, translators
can check gnome 3 translation once before release (April 04 is last day
for translation)).
If we are going to do before translation deadline and find bug for
translation, then it may be fixed before by translator and not too useful
to report translation bug. So after translation deadline can be optimal
time.
