Dear Pootle community,

Sorry for the bleed over from the Sugar Labs / OLPC Localization community
:-)

We hang out at:
http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/localization

and we would welcome any of you to join our list and our group focused on
localization of FOSS software for children's education.  We host the Sugar
Labs localization efforts as well as OLPC-specific PO files and the massive
PO file for the E-toys system on our own Pootle server:

http://translate.sugarlabs.org/

Given the number of projects and the number of languages (over 100), it may
actually be one of the bigger Pootle instances out there, but I have not
done an exhaustive survey.  I know many of you are also contributors to our
work already and I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you
who work on producing Pootle for your efforts.  We have recently migrated up
to Pootle 2.0.1 and I must say that it is a reamrkable advance over earlier
versions.

I work as one of the Pootle coordinators to try to take some of the
administrivia workload off of Sayamindu Dasgupta and the new features for
performing administrative tasks through the web interface are a godsend.
The Sugar Labs localization community may be a bit unique in that we have
many smaller language groups from less-developed countries that get geared
up very quickly for an XO deployment and so we often have localizers that
are brand new to the FOSS world and localization efforts, but they are able
to very quickly pull their efforts together through the Pootle server.

We do try to show you guys some downstream-upstream love by pointing folks
at your efforts on our wiki, but it can never be said enough how important
your work is to making our work possible.

Thanks again and Warmest Regards,
