Ok. Actually we've today decided to get some advice about whether it
really is necessary for translators to sign the agreement if the
translation is to be included in the official LX. We don't want to have
to insist on the agreement for translators if we can possibly avoid it.
So I suggest you open up the template again for the time being to allow
translations to continue for now. Just as long as we can contact the
contributors later if it turns out we really can't avoid the agreement. 

I'm going to be away for a week after today, so it will be the week
after next before you hear from me again.

Very little translation is going on outside rosetta to my knowledge.
We've had one Russian translator get in touch who was intending doing
the whole translation by himself. But it seems he's now teamed up with
some other Russian translators who are using rosetta.

Ok, as mentioned above, please leave this for now and I'll let you know.
