Well I don't recall your original suggestion, but this sounds like a very worthwhile idea. Our translation efforts are gaining importance and momentum and it would help if a more focused area were available. Would this include BOTH translations for the product as well as web related matters? I don't know how the original was used really... So, +1 from me on this. I probably couldn't help much with moderation, however. :/ The old project area for I10n could really use an overhaul as well. http://www.openoffice.org/l10n/ One step at a time I guess. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "I would rather have a donkey that takes me there than a horse that will not fare." -- Portuguese proverb
