I believe we reached such an agreement on the mailing list. There wer=

If I'm wrong, anyone disagreeing about my interpretation of the discu=

We discussed this matter on the mailing list, as well as on the IRC c=
hannel.
It wasn't a very long discussion as there were no disagreeing voices =

translation groups. I believe we're over the discussion, and I don't =
see what
more there is to "discuss". Everyone, including Linux-Aktivaattori, c=
an
CONTRIBUTE their help to localisation efforts or to anything else the=
y wish,
with no need to bow to any organisations or authorities. That's what =
voluntary
work is about.

In any case, Linux-Aktivaattori is not a translation group itself, so=
 it has
very little saying on how the groups should collaborate or otherwise =
organise.
I have neither, but as I said, I believe we found a consensus (at lea=
st by the
vocal majority) on this matter and the consensus was to continue the
"organised" collaboration separate from L-A's authority.
