Besides Answers, I get lots of people confused about:

   1. registration
   2. subscribing to our loco-team mailing-list
   3. searching and navegating


those are non-technical uses of launchpad and are not intended to be used
only by technical, developers or english-only speakers, so I have no doubts
that they need to be translated and I wish I could see that on the top
priorities under Launchpad`s roadmap.

How can I make my loco-team`s mailing list work as a funcitional support
channel if people can`t get registered to Launchpad, registered to the
loco-team and at last subscribed to the list?

I agree that other technical parts of Launchpad, like the bug control could
remain in english and translation teams could be in charge of that. We have
the tools and we have the sources. I`d like to know what are the other
functionalities that are above this one. Am I the only one who thinks this
should be a priority?

thanks,

Kemel Zaidan aka Legendario
