I have tried for weeks to resolve this issue. OOo did not chose the lead. He was simply the one who offered himself to translate and build up a Level1 native language project. At that time there was no reason to believe he wouldn't. > It is not just any company, it is the one who should be working on building > the community. > > That is a conflict of interest. > That is the major blockage here. > > I am just saying that there is no progress and no community. > You need to think hard if that is what you want. Hello, again: it is not OOo's fault that the Albanian native language lead miserably failed and didn't build up community nor publish sources nor wants to cooperate. OOo does not dictate if or when a lead is to be replaced. If a project's community thinks a lead doesn't fulfill his duties he can be deposed. Someone has to get that going, apparently that someone would be you. > Do you want a community or do you want no progress? You want to make progress. Just discuss the replacement of the project lead and gain momentum so things can be resolved in a timely manner. d...@l10n is a technical list and the wrong place, please do so on d...@native-lang.openoffice.org if the 'sq' project's mailing list appears to be dead.
