A problem here is what happens with outdated information. We're fortunate to have long-term contributors like you, taking ownership of a translation. But in many cases someone helps with only a single release and then they move on. Someone else helps with the next release. And so on. So this contact information becomes out of date. This frustrates new volunteers more than it helps them, since their emails can go unanswered and no one else in the project even knows these new volunteers exist. This is why we encourage translation volunteers to use this mailing list, [email protected], as their first point of contact. This is where the translation community lives. We should all be subscribed to this list. Of course, there is nothing wrong with responding to a new volunteer's note and following up via private email, or directing them to an NL mailing list. That is fine. -Rob > Regards, > Aivaras > > 2015.01.27 14:44, Aivaras Stepukonis rašė: > >> The HTML template of the new contact page for the native subsites is >> complete.
