I don't want to moan, particularly at people who have already helped  
our translation team plenty and all for free -- thanks for the  
service, Rosetta and Launchpad people  :o) -- but I sent a message to  
rosetta at launchpad.net, following the instructions at https:// 
wiki.ubuntu.com/RosettaFAQ, asking for a language team to be created.  
As yet, I'm still waiting for a reply.

Could I have a heads-up from someone to let me know what's happening  
with the creation of the Esperanto translation team, please? Thanks  
in advance.

In the 12 days since sending the message (see below), our group have  
translated something like 5000 strings of OpenOffice.org in Rosetta.  
It'd be really nice to be able to have the proper framework in place  
around this work, particularly so that we can restrict write access  
to known-good translators and proof-readers.

Thanks again for the help so far, and thanks in advance for the next  
bit.  :o)

Cheers.


Tim
