Well I think we added all languages on Pootle where we see activities or

That was an example, but still it is one improvement that needs to be done. Why? Because volunteers are much more likely to be involved if they can have an idea of what they would be working on, and because we can't keep volunteers waiting too much.

Concrete example: http://markmail.org/message/usn5khq3imrdibzq Sinhala (si) was requested two weeks ago and http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/trunk/extras/l10n/source/si/ hasn't been imported yet. Probably you are now the only person who has the skills and the permissions on the relevant systems to help with this. If you take care of documenting the process in the wiki in https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Pootle_User_Guide (or a sibling page) this time, we may be able to delegate it the next time the need arises, and then maybe find someone who will progressively import the SDF files to Pootle: keeping only the SDF is really bad since one can't see progress or submit a quick fix, and if everything is on Pootle we lower the entry barrier.

Regards,
  Andrea.
