At this point, I'd like to ask if any of you guys would be willing to sign up for creating and testing the first localized images for your language/LoCo. The tools are still being created, so for now we are not looking at creating them already, but rather for a list of contacts of people committed to creating and testing the first prototypes when the infrastructure is ready. I've just drafted a page to coordinate this process: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/LocalizedImagesRollout" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/LocalizedImagesRollout</a> Note that the FAQ is still in a pretty crude state, as the actual project is to be completed by release date and thus it is still in progress. Therefore, if you've got any questions, please feel free to ask and we'll try to answer and include them in the FAQ. Please do read the spec first, as your question might already be answered there. So if you'd like to contribute to the ISO image for your language/LoCo, please add yourself to the table in the wiki page. I'm very excited about this project, which I think it's going to be awesome for LoCos. Thanks a lot for your help!
