Re: What to do with inactive GNOME language translation teams?
Alright, some thoughts (and questions) how to potentially proceed: * Define gap / which timeframe means potentially "inactive". * Contact each inactive team coordinator in an email and ask if they are still interested in translating GNOME and if they realistically have the time to do so in the close future, and point to https://wiki.gnome.org/TranslationProject/TeamCoordinatorResponsibil ities , and ask to Reply to All when replying. - This should not be single point of failure (mailbox) and single person being able to follow up though. If someone contacted an inactive coordinator, should gnome-i18n@ mailing list be in CC? * If coordinator is not interested or if there is no reply from coordinator within four weeks (?), try one more time? * If again no reply, remove coordinator in damned-lies, I guess? - How to handle that? GitLab tickets? Hope that folks who can do that in Damned Lies monitor this mailing list closely? - Contact latest active translators in Damned Lies? Language pages at https://l10n.gnome.org/languages/xyz/ have a "Team membership" section and folks have email addresses, but I have no idea how to check who has been the "last" active translators for a language, plus not sure how much emailing them would be considered spammy. Plus again, who else to CC? Spam the gnome-i18n@ mailing list? * If no replies, someone to make a public call? (Planet GNOME; Engagement Team?) - Somehow somehow reach out to downstream distribution translations? (I'd have no idea how to do that in a structured way.) (I hope to provide data on translation activity per language soon.)

Re: What to do with inactive GNOME language translation teams?
Yes, I agree this is sad and if we can do something to fix or improve it, we should do it. The first step should be contact team coordinators to wonder if they are still interested in the project. Obviously they are not but we can use this as an introduction to ask about a general request for a new team coordinator. Once done this we can spread the word about the need of a new team coordinator for the XX team. Maybe here we could contact recent collaborators in each team, make a post in Planet GNOME or even make a public announce (Engagement Team could help?) to try to reach more public. @Claude: could we get a list of coordinators' email directly from DL's database? that could ease the work. Andre, I can help with this task so just let me know what can I do ;-) Thanks for taking care of this!
