Re: Coordinate zh_CN Translation

Hi,

9 month ago Xiang Zhang told us he won't get much time on it, so with it's approval I can put you on the list of coordinators for zh_CN.

https://github.com/python/python-docs-zh-cn/ created! But github has hard times since like 12 hours and I can't add you as a collaborator on it.

Feel free to ask it to me again on IRC (I'm mdk) or by email if I forgot once github is back on tracks.

Inada Naoki and Tomo Cocoa (am I spelling it correcly? sry if not) are the owner of the transifex project (in copy of this message). Can you add him?

After years of work on the french translation I can give you an advice: spending time on gathering people to help on the translation is more efficient than translating alone.
