Just to clear things up. The #ooo-macport channel on irc.freenet.org (I think I have the right information here) is in English most of the time. Also, the Mac Porting team is made up of people from around the world. You are, of course, welcome to help in any way that you feel you can. Right now, release candidate 1 for 2.0.4 is out and I run the QA/QC process for the Mac OS X product line. You are welcome to join in this process as more 'hands' make this process run more quickly. The team of Frenchmen and Frenchwomen do have their own irc chat channel.
