I support Avash it'd better to have a training before going but what if if we have a session in the hackathon itself ? Most of the geek community still think that Localization is trivial, localization is not challenging task and lack of language aptitude is another factor .
Those who are working in localization are working in some disjoint groups . I think this kind of hackathon is certainly going to help keep us together . Given that the hackathon will be in June in some weekend I can contribute some of the time , helping organize it.
