So this means you will have to focus not just on localization, but also
on community building and adoption, documentation writing.
Native-Language Projects are made just for these kinds of things. :-)

You have read the NLC page, I guess you should read this one for more
details: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/NLC

So the project's name should be: "IS"
The project lead's username should be: sveinki
Your SCA is signed and sent.
The level of the project is 2.

Now you can also migrate it to something like [email protected] and
open other ones such as [email protected], and
[email protected] ...

Provided you agree with my proposals above, I shall file an issue and
then the grand paperwork will start. In the end you will have to upload
a ssh2 key and you'll be set.

Welcome to the NLC!
