I think (BICBW) there's a big overlap between carrying | out i18n work on the code and message catalogs, and carrying out i18n | work on the documentation. There is already a freebsd-translators | (@ngo.org.uk) mailing list with very little traffic that could be | migrated to freebsd.org and used for both. Yes. In fact I prudently predict that if we launched an i18n mailing list we would soon get into the same set of problems every i18n project has (e.g. unification vs. localization). For this purpose, having a group of people already involved in i18n (regardless they are programmers or doc writers) migrated into the new list would be a great idea. -- Eugene M.
