I just sent the following to people who have volunteered to help.

-- Forwarded Message: --

Hello!

First off let me apologize not responding sooner - boring life things
got in the way a bit there but I'm going to have some time for the
project over the next few months.

If you are getting this mail it's because you saw the call for a
volunteer on stellarium.org and kindly offered to help out.  Thank
you!

What we want is a person or several persons to help us manage the
web-site translations for the project.  You may have noticed that the
non-English versions of the website are in a bit of a muddle - only
the English and one or two others are really up to date.  What it
means is doing one or more of the following tasks:

- translating the English version of the main web page to other languages
- collecting complete translations from translators
- preparing updated files which make the pages (it's done with simple PHP)
- sending updated files to one of the devs to copy to the web server.

What I hope this will look like to translators is that they will be
able to get in contact with someone when they offer to help, and will
get some sort of notification when there is new translation work to be
done.

We have some other projects which we can also use help with:
- keeping the user guide updated (in the wiki)
- translating the user guide
- translating other wiki pages
- adding new material to the wiki

If any of this sounds like something you'd like to help out with,
please make sure you are subscribed to the stellarium-pubdevel mailing
list.  I will start a discussion there in a day or two.  You can
subscribe here if you didn't already:
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/stellarium-pubdevel

Depending on how many people still want to help, maybe we can do
something like split the task to language groups, with each volunteer
"owning" several translations, or maybe a vertical split with some
people talking to translators, and one person sending updates to the
developers....  lets work that out on the mailing list.

Thanks again!
Matthew
