Hi.

There is a simple sanity check for the newcomers to the Russian team. Besides signing up for a FAS account and signing FPCA, they are given instructions to subscribe to the main and the local translators mailing lists and send a short resumé to both. Okay, at least to the local one, to be granted access. Until they do, I may or may not send them an email. The "unresponsive coordinator process" may need to account for this.
