there should be a central point to coordinate translations, maybe 
a forum or a wiki. A place, in short, to meet translators, find people for 
translation-projects and to reach no double-work.

In general, that's what this mailing list is for.  If we recreate that
function outside of here, we risk splitting our knowledge and having
double-work occur.

However, it's true we are without a repository that contributors can
share (CVS).  While that's being worked on -- and it _is_ being worked
on :) -- perhaps translators can follow a plan like this, with as much
of the conversation happening on-list for the benefit of all:

1. Meet on this list, organize by language

2. Pick what to translate, divide the work

3. Coordinate using personal resources such as Christian has at
stonebyte.de, with discussions happening on-list as much as possible.

4. If possible, keep work in CVS for possible later integration into
Fedora Project CVS

Does this sound reasonable?

But for some german translators a general meeting-point is a good idea, I 
think. Or they should write, if this would be no problem, in their language 
here in Any the opion of the listusers?

Maybe also a wiki for fixing ideas out of the list is a possible idea. Lists 
are fluid.

Okay. Ans then? Private lists or CC:?

And mark it "in progress" for the list.

Okay.

Fine.

Sounds okay for me, but only the thing with the language is tumbeling around 
my head.

Hi, all. I'm new to the list. Just upgraded my Red Hat 9 to Fedora a
couple days ago. I'm new to linux as well -- I only loaded Red Hat just
over two months ago.

I would like to get involved if possible. I'm a writer, not a developer.
My education is liberal arts--a few courses in tech/professional
editing, as well as some small experience--but I have this thing for
technology. (Don't we all?) My strengths would definitely be editing,
proofreading, etc. since my knowledge about linux only goes so deep.

Is there a way for me to get involved? Or does the list require more
technical expertise to participate?
