...scheduled for launch at the end of the year, or early next year...
This generally means: "NET early next year"

I have just been noticing that there are very few sources listed for credibility.
Direct quotes from ISRO officials and the articles where they were quoted; Diagrams with forecasting from official organizations and the links to check the source.
These are the things I am not seeing very often. Maybe I just have not looked hard enough.
ie. "Launch schedule:
That month-
rocket1,satellite1, Between these dates
This month-
rocket2,satellite2, on this date" - end of entry
Where's the credibility in this? No better than heresay.
-Just an observation

The information provided here on this forum is definitely not heresay...
If you go through the posts completely, there are credible sources which build the launch log. ISIS and UTIAS have contracts with ISRO to launch a number of cubesats/nanosats and they have given a expected launch date/month along with the orbital parameters. In most cases, the primary satellite is found by tallying these orbital parameters.(you can find the orbital parameters of upcoming sats on ISRO website)
Add on to this..there are few people on this forum who work for ISRO and know few things before the media comes to know of it and have posted here. Even I have posted here without any media article based proofs...(Initially I had put in here whatever came to my knowledge from various sources but nowadays I wait for more credible and multiple souces and sometimes wait till atleast some media article pop up...For example, I have read of a visit by a team from "MacDonald Dettwittler and associates" for the upcoming launch of their satellite named "sapphire" onboard a PSLV in 2010...But I don't have any more info so never posted it here...)
Further there are media reports like from the newspaper "The Hindu" detailing on some aspects and adding on information.
I have been following this forum and posting here for almost more than a year now and I am sure the information here is correct to the best in public domain...But we cannot be sure of the exact launch dates as ISRO is plauged with delays.

Following Chandrayaan-1 malfunction, the onboard computers of both Oceansat-2 and GSAT-4 have been replaced. Not sure how this will affect launch schedule.

I think this news article in an old one....Actually this news is about 2-3 months old and only now in public domain.
Chandrayaan-1 malfunction with regard to heat/radiation problems came days after it entered moon's orbit and this was kept away from media glare and only now that ISRO has totally lost chandrayaan-1, it is talking of the sats problems in public.This decision would have been taken before and MAY BE this is the reason for the delay in oceansat-2...allowing the fully stacked vehicle to rot.

PSLV-C14 Launch date is reported most likely to be September, 23 -
http://www.hindu.com/2009/09/13/stories/2009091360321100.htm
This article talks of a spring loaded system to place the cubesats into orbit.
***1.Is this different from xbox system used in PSLV C10 launch.
***2. The Rubinsats are to be attached to the rocket's 4th stage...won't this mean less life and early entry into atmosphere....How long does the 4th stage stay in orbit?

Nearly all Rubins were attached payloads except #2 (freeflyer) and #6 (included in the AGILE satellite). Long lifetime is not required for these experimental payloads.

http://beta.thehindu.com/news/national/article24124.ece?homepage=trueIn the print edition of this article...The main challenge for ISRO is stated as launching GSLV D3 & PSLV C15 by December. The online article above mentions this but not clearly about PSLV C15 launch.
PSLV C!% to carry Cartosat-2B (The mystery surrounding this new cartosat series has still not died down...)
I am little skeptical of this C15 launch by Dec but may be JAN-2010
