Dear OLPC devel, I have been trying to build links with upstream L10n communities that translate the L10n bits we need and I recently sent this message to gnome-i18n:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2011-July/msg00041.html I would like to know how OLPC thinks it can make the best use of what seems to me a very kind offer from Claude Paroz (GNOME i18n community leader). Just FYI, Claude has been very helpful and even offered assistance with developing glibc locales (something that will be needed for OLPC Oceania projects (for instance) when they get localized. I know that my listing on tracking tickets on Pootle is incomplete, whereas something like: http://build.laptop.org/11.2.0/os23/xo-1/os23.packages.txt would be more complete. Is there a simple link to the most current packages in RC4 (873)? Would GNOME's offer help OLPC to more easily pull it's packages (and their L10n bits) or does OLPC tend to pull indirectly via Fedora packages. I'm afraid I do not understand the build process well enough to judge the possible utility of this offer. I was merely appealing to the upstream teams to give priority to the packages we use.

If noone objects and if you give us the exact branches targeted by the upcoming OLPC release, we could create an OLPC release set on l10n.gnome.org.
