There is an upcoming checkpoint scheduled [1] for the creation of ISO
images for testing on Wed July 29, 2009.  Liam Li plans kick the tires
with a more organized collaborative testing at that time (stay tuned).

However, until then you still have many ways to test rawhide installs
[2], including:
      * Download and install from rawhide boot.iso
      * Download and install using rawhide PXE images
      * Create a rawhide live image [3] (or use a recent test day image
        [4]) 

For any issues you encounter, I can advise that you 
     1. set an appropriate defect severity (see
        http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow#Severity)
     2. if not high severity, but you feel this should be considered for
        resolution in F-12-Alpha ... mark the defect as blocking
        bug#F12Alpha.

Happy testing!

Thanks,
James
