More specifically about Telugu (don't tell me you speak that language too, Steve?), I've got contacts back at Foss.in and Prasad Kadambi who I met there is supposed to coordinate the initial l10n effortbut as of now nearly nothing happened. I of course understand I may sound kinda annoying by sending this everyday, but experience shows that this is about the only way to achieve the expected resultand, yes, that's really tiring to have to do this for every release...:) So, well, I can certainly add a link to http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ which is the starting point for all translators... even though I'm not convinced this will add much value to the boring mail... signature.asc Description: Digital signature
