Congratulations to our Serbian translation community on their fine work. The article that Oisin passes on (refer to forwarded message below) is an interesting one.

An interesting LWN article[1] reports that the FLP[2] is working very successfully with the Serbian Fedora community. The article will be available to non-subscribers after Dec 25th. In the meanwhile a brief summary is that in 2007 the Serbian government initiated the localization of several pieces of Free Software (Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice, Fedora and Ubuntu). The Fedora work seems to have gone extremely well, with 99% of strings translated on time, in comparison to Ubuntu which was delayed and resulted in a fork. Congratulations to the FLP and especially their Serbian contributors.
