This is really great, thank you for your work.  I'm very sorry, but in
fact we already have a version of the welcome template in Polish :-/

It is really a shame to not use your hard work :-(  However, if you are
interested in helping out, there are (at least!) several other pages 
which you could work on.  You probably already found the localisation
info page :

   http://www.netbeans.org/community/contribute/localise.html

Of the 5 recommended pages there, we have only the first 2 in Polish,
so your help with any of the others would be very welcome.

Let me know if you're interested, and if you have any questions or
problems.

Perhaps we should set up a status page, showing which pages are translated
into which languages - this might make it easier to see what needs doing ?

:-) Let's do it!  I look forward to working with you.  Please do let
me know if you have any questions or problems.

Many thanks again for your offer and work so far.
