Hi Cameron, thanks answering quickly. Maybe I didn't write my original email clear enough, when I mentioned... - I know everything what's in wiki and I've understand what that means. I've read wiki pages many times and followed when they have been updated - yes I know the old manners how to translate but I'm already OSGeo Live Transifex translator, only waiting for context - yes, I mentioned that flyer and other written material are old and asked when committee will upgrade them - and I asked if there is some other material as most items have been updated none existing (over lined)
So thanks. I think that I'll manage to tell to board what is the situation. We'll find our own ways to inform possible sponsors etc. Good night, Kari 22.11.2016, 21:13, Cameron Shorter kirjoitti: > Hi Kari, > > Great to hear your interest in translating.
