Hello Vladimir, Thank you for your interest in OOo and the Native-Lang Confederation. You may want to proceed in several steps. I believe that as this is an urgent matter, you may want to go first to the L10N project (http://l10n.openoffice.org) and work with Pavel Janik directly. Then, after the Marathon is completed, we will have time to open a native-lang project. Of course, if you need such a project now, we can discuss that, but the set up will take time. Sorry to sound bothering, but I'd like to ask a rather important question: what is the status of the controversy about the Macedonian language (ISO code, final name, etc.)? Has it it been solved?
NB to the list: although I don't know much about this controversy, I'll sum it up here briefly: the name of Macedonia as a country and Macedonian as a language is seen as problematic by some other nations, particularly Greece, who puts forth the argument that Macedonia and Macedonian are integral parts of the Greek culture, and as such an independent country calling itself Macedonia is problematic for Greeks, who besides, have an administrative province that is called Macedonia. One thing leading to another, there has been an UN resolution (but here I may be wrong) that basically requested Macedonia to change its flag and call itself Skopje. Actually it seems that some people in Europe call modern Macedonia "Skopje". You can hence see how we can have a problem for the ISO code and locale. Vladimir, I wish you nonetheless good luck for the Marathon, and look forward to welcome you soon among our confederation. Feel free to come back here at anytime. Best Regards, Charles-H. Schulz, Lead of the Native-Lang Confederation, OpenOffice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
