Thankyou. :)

I'm glad I got it done in time to be useful. :)

That would be great: then we can add anything that's currently not  
covered. :)

Boy, have things been busy over at Gnome this past week! :D

I thought the gnome.org server was going to have a fit, at one stage.  
You couldn't get files edited fast enough to avoid conflicts with  
someone else editing them, before you got the page committed again! I  
had three files like that in ten minutes!

<phew>

I'm glad release-fever is somewhat over. :D

I think we're going to have a great group here, and those of us  
volunteering for specific tasks, like translation, can support each  
other as well.

Another note on translation help: I formed a Google Group called i18n- 
mentor [1] some time ago, where more experienced translators can help  
newer ones, especially women, although all are welcome, with the same  
code of conduct this group has. It's invitation-only, to keep it  
small and manageable. i18n-mentor been very quiet for some time,  
since our last group of newish translators have all grown their wings  
and flown off into different projects, although they remain members.  
If you're interested in translation, you're very welcome to join: the  
group traffic is very low, just questions and ideas as they come up.  
Please email me, and I'll send you an invitation. This means you can  
ask general translation questions there, and the U-W specific ones  
here, if you like. Up to you. :)

I'd also recommend the Translate Wiki [2] to anyone currently  
translating, or thinking of translating. It's a central resource for  
translators, and contains a lot of key information about the main  
projects, how to translate, and resources we can use. You're welcome  
to use it, and to contribute your experiences. :)
