Hello Risto, welcome to Apache OpenOffice ! > Current it seems that most of the active Finnish localisation team went to > LibreOffice.

You can read more about becoming a committer here: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/ppmc-faqs.html#participate A contributor becomes a committer after a period of contributions to the project. So how do you get started with contributions if you cannot check in files? You start by submitting patches. This allows other committers to review your changes and then check them in. For the translated homepage, it would be good to start with the English-language version and then translate that. You can get the English version here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/ooo/ooo-site/trunk/content/index.html?view=markup When you have a translation you want checked in, you could attach your translation to a Bugzilla issue: https://issues.apache.org/ooo/enter_bug.cgi?product=www > 2) OpenOffice.org 3.3 translation needs to move to Pootle (I too have all > .po-files in my hard disk if that matter) > 3) Translation update to 3.4 level > 4) Lot of other things > Excellent ! If you can attach your PO files to a Bugzilla issue as well, that will help us get them loaded into Pootle. Or send them to be as an email attachment. > I like to start from number 1 but I think I have no committer authority and > don't know anybody else with language skils.

You start as a contributor, and submit patches. Then, as other project members see your great work, you are proposed and voted in as a committer.
