I can agree most emphatically here. Like many translators, I work for  
a number of different OSS projects, and so much of my time is wasted  
in dealing with different procedures. When I join a new project, up  
to 80% of my time goes in learning the new procedures. This is not  
only inefficient, it discourages participation.

Everyone is short on resources, let's use them effectively. :)

And he's a terrific guy, very adaptable and knowledgeable. He'll meet  
you more than half-way.
