Yes, but it is pretty easy to get. Coincidentally, the Fridge mailing list was having a discussion about how to revive/kickstart the fridge. As for translations, I propose we do the following: install a new drupal install, localized, at fr.fridge.ubuntu.com or es.fridge.ubuntu.com. translate each

Hey Adam, in the french translation team, we had been talking about getting some additional news in translated UWN. News could be related to events in french-speaking countries for example. We never got to see if it was OK with UWN team, as UWN#30 got held back for a long time. So, brainstormin
