Hello dev list,
Since August 2009 I have been trying to join the Albanian team (sq), but there
has not been any response for far.
I have not received any response from the team leader Shkumbin Saneja at all.
Since the last piece of work this team did was for OOO 1.1.4 I believe this team is not active anymore.
Please look into this matter. If the current team leader needs to approve
things, it means that the whole team is inactive because of him.
From what I can see, the last thing this team did was almost 5 years ago.
Please help. I want to take over this project and get some active people
involved. Many have gone to launchpad and are translating OpenOffice for Ubuntu
in Albanian. For me, that's not the right level to translate since only Ubuntu
and sub distros of Ubuntu will benefit.
But, can only guess that many of them tried to register here, but because no
one admitted they have found another place to have fun.
Thanks,
//Agroni

I think the best tactic here is to inform the broader lists via
d...@native-lang and also d...@l10n about this situation. It's normal in Foss
projects, which are often volunteer-run, for the responsible to disappear as
they become engaged in other (often remunerative) activities. It's life. But
equally, we can always and always are soliciting new interest.
Given the nature of Albanian and its polity, I'd also wonder if it would help
to engage government support?
Foss saves money. Gives freedom. Builds local economies. Is good. :-)
Ciao
