The first one of these is done, to start with:
https://fedorahosted.org/release-notes 

I think we can move along with a parallel workflow for a short time,
with Transifex/L10n commits to CVS.  Because git has such powerful
merging features, we ought to be able to capture any changes necessary
into the git repo later.  At some point, maybe soon depending on how
people feel, we can migrate the Transifex source settings to pull from
the git repo(s).
