Howdy Mike I should know better - sorry, the pronoun 'you' - I was talking about you the individual there. Rather was just postulating to a generic person. I picked on the fb scenario, where the person(a) _primarily_ and perhaps exclusively, works in social media promoting LibreOffice/TDF/ODF, because it is well known to me, having put a few together, that was the only reason for using it. > I am able to do coding etc, my role in this project for the albanian > language will be in recruiting members and finding funding or > motivation for the localization, until the point that we find someone > better to take over this. > My membership is with the flossk.org group that we founded in Right - and the draft on the wiki quite specifically states that no one would need to pick a project, joining this one in other words, over another. So you can be active on multiple projects - of course. If you look at what is in the email and the wiki page I believe you will see that translating is most certainly considered contributing.
