Good idea.

Back in August after 3 years I signed off as NL lead on the Danish list 
and to Louis and Charles. However, I did not report it here on dev@nl 
because I hoped the successor was soon found.

The status from the Danish team is that the demanding part of 
translating the GUI and help to Danish is complete and easily 
maintained. Thus the effort is spreading to other areas.

- Translation is as updated frequently by the team. I keep my website 
for translation updated and I still subscribe to [email protected] 
and this list to make sure the Danish localization is perfect - 
including the nitty gritty locale settings.
- QA is managed by Thomas Roswall that along with his team triads RCs 
for bugs
- Danish Newsletter is now edited by Leif Lodahl
- Translation of documentation is also coordinated by Leif
- An ISO image is maintained by Jørgen Kristensen. Jørgen sent all MPs a 
cd which caused a good public debate.

Currently the main obstacle for the Danish end user is the lack of an 
included and good dictionary for spell checking. Various solutions are 
being discussed.

The Danish team is looking for an active NL lead, Marcon and website 
maintainer.

I stepped down for many reasons and mostly for positive reasons. The 
time was right - OpenOffice is now a completely valid alternative for 
Danish users - and personal stuff. It has been fun and demanding but 
mostly fun. It is good to leave when the project is doing great.

Now, I freely roam the project as a less active contributor and 
issuezillian. Please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you and see you 
around.

Best regards
Søren

PS. Ping me if any Greenlandish or Faroese group wants help with the 
translation.
