I'm still not following.

Forgive me if I tweaked something that threw off the task numbers... 
task 19 and 20 is:
Translate Final Release Banners (POT to PO) and Translation Deadline:

The best way for me to update/change the schedule is for you tell me 
explicitly what the tasks names are and what their dates should be (even 
if it repeats other parts of the schedule).
