Sure, I am.  However, I should warn you that Quarry development is
currently stagnated.  In other words, you may happen to contribute
to a dying project.  I don't think it's going to be that bad, but...

The main reason is that I now work full-time.  Right now I'm working
on a patch, but it has been _a month_ since the last CVS commit now.

I don't have much experience either ;)  It should be much like that.
And there should be tools that might ease you job (I've always heard
there's a special Emacs mode for this.)  In any case, make sure that
you edit the file in UTF-8 encoding.

There are likely to be strings not prepared for internationalization.
If you go on this task and stumble across some text that is not in
`quarry.po', just bug me on this list or privately.

I'm not sure.  Is there some standard for this?  I have always thought
that it's the packages that deal with this stuff.  However, if you can
prove it to be otherwise, I'll add `.desktop' file(s).  Another problem
is that there is no Quarry icon currently as I'm not an artist and
nobody contributed it.
