I'm quite happy to see someone taking on a translation to Polish. I have noticed a lot of Linux users from Poland so I'm sure this will be appreciated by many people.

Translators only have access to the web CVS so there isn't too much damage they can do. Doing translation can become tedious with time so I hope you make some requests for additional translators. I have been leaving it up to the translation coordinator for each translation to decide how they organize the translation. I am trying to avoid having to manage a large number of CVS passwords (it's not succeeding though as there are already over 20). Your CVS password will be sent in a seperate mail. Jay Treacy
