Hi Olav, I am concerned about translation quality as well. One thing we did when OpenOffice came to Apache was stop the practice of releasing incomplete translations, or translations without a community to review the work. So we don't release until the UI is 100% translated. We would welcome your participation in the Norwegian Bokmål translation that is currently being worked on. I don't know who told you that you must sign an ICLA at Apache. This is not true. We welcome contributions from anyone, with or without an ICLA on file. An ICLA, however, is required for project "committers", those who have direct write access to systems like our version control or Pootle. Non-Committers work on PO files off-line.
