OK, understood.

No; currently the "localise quick start" page is the only
real "home" the website translations has (Maxym, Vincent,
please correct me if I'm wrong).  We need to expand this ...

Actually, a related proposal - I'm not sure if you saw it
already Bruno, in case not :

   http://www.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?msgId=617511&listName=webteam

Your feedback is most welcome.

Good question.  The guidelines we have set up for other
lists say to keep all discussions on the one list, until
the volume becomes too high - if that happens split off
and create a new list for that discussion.

So, I would propose you all sign up to webteam, and use
it to discuss your work.  I don't imagine volume should
be too high ... if it is, we can always create a list for
you, or look for some other solution.  How does that
sound ?

Other webteam subscribers, do you agree ?  Please let us
know if not.

Really sounds good, good luck!  We are rushing to keep up
with the pace translations are going at ... "Stage 1" was
our essential doc list.  But there are a few languages
where all of those docs are already translated, and
volunteers have nothing to do!  We need to plan out Stage
2.  Anyone have any ideas ? :-)

Actually the "Using NetBeans" guide is probably a good
2nd step - it is very current (newly written), and has lots
of good users-guide type info, very useful to translate I
think.  It is quite big (~8 large pages), so better left
to the more determined, hard-working translators :-)

Of course, you are free to translate anything you feel is
important.

Anyway, have a nice weekend all.
