This however, would not apply to other > projects. I second. Concerning the translations I'm coordinating: 1- Nothing to do (for now) on Mandrake. 2- Fedora has only one partly-translated big file. It contains a little more than 1000 untranslated/fuzzy strings. It's rather boring (long messages with lots of parameters etc). Since it's difficult to work collectively on such a file, the ideal will be to have 3 translators, working in a rotative way: morning/afternoon/evening (I understand that it will be itensive). That way, the file will certainly be fully-translated at the end of that month.

They'll need to register for accounts, subscribe to the mailing lists etc. I certainly would like to talk to and interact with the people I'm working with. Salam, - -- Youcef R.
