I know at one point we were looking at translators being responsible for publishing and packaging their translations when they felt their translations were ready.

I'd hate to loose data in a system we don't have control over. - --Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iF4EAREIAAYFAk1b7cQACgkQU03aaJDMNEU0mQD/aW4KaxeepGeNEop85kwtV/hs WR1vB07iXVJ37cJmUkoBAI33VY+OyZsC1A7fb13Zf+0HMTNmW+pqGHM3b1Wz47yo =4v3s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
