Hey,
I saw the artical on whatsup about the rosetta projects and the comments
of people about it.
I just wanted to clear up few points.

rosetta is in a testing stage, many of the features people noticed are
missing would be adding in the next 2-3 weeks, things as updating the
project list to include all packages in ubuntu and adding all the already
existing po file from them. Moderation options are going to be added as
well to keep high quality/standarized translations.

We are going to use rosetta to make an hebrew localized version of
ubuntu. We are now testing it to see how well it works with hebrew
(we reported some bidi bugs) and on the writing on howto use rosetta
which would be on hebuntu's wiki.

We didn't decide yet on the guidelines for translation, but it would use
free-hebrew, it's already coordinated with the dolfin (the guy who
translate gnome to hebrew) and would be translated hopefully with the kde
team as well. If they would like to even have one of them moderate the kde
package translation when moderation option would be up.
didn't get to e-mail them but if one of them reading this
now please e-mail me.

Another point people talked about was how translation is going to get back
to the original project, the answer is simple we are taking care of it,
if someone wishes to be responsible for a specific package please email us
on [EMAIL PROTECTED] we already got gnome covered.

rosetta would also have the option that people working on the ubuntu's
development could update their translations almost on the fly from what is
on rosetta and therefore things would be easily tested.

If you are seeing options which are missing in rosetta you are more than
welcome to submit a bug report out of experience they do care and listen
to the community.

Everyone are ofcourse welcome to start working in rosetta now, but I think
that it would be much more productive in 2-3 weeks. People who wish the
participate and influance the hebuntu project are welcome to join our
mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] but be warned we are still preety much
starting:-)

P.S
If someone can add it as a respond to the whatsup artical I would be
gratfull.:-)
