[idleone]

Welcome Melissa,

Thanks so much for the intro it is great that you want to help out.

here is a link http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Translators please add your
name to the list.

I have also started a ToDo page for the French version with a list of
pages that need to translated. I know that the list is not complete but
I figure as we complete pages we can add more. This is the page
http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Fr/AFaire  Feel free to copy it and use for
your language.

P.S. it is good to see that people are getting excited about this
translation project. Talk about it to your LoCo team and let's try and
get as many people involved in it as possible.

Now my instinct is guiding my way. It’s true what they say.
The world is your chance to create.
