I have send out 3 mails yesterday. I have received the trans post
acknowledgement for all and in my mailclient as part of the
mailinglist-postings. But in HyperKitty there is only my introduction.
I miss my 2 replies. I will send this one first again now and see what
happens...

So here again

My GitHub-Account is first of all to follow projects. I have no real
practical experience with git. If necessary, when things are solved
concerning Zanata, I will have a closer look at the git docs.

I am aware of this.

I would be very interested to work with Zanata and to see how it works.
Would be more convenient to work there. I have time this evening and
tomorrow to read the docs. And yes, at this point of time a project
maintainer should do the job. Mostly cause I don't know the processes
between the teams and I prefer to make one step after the other. I
could concentrate on formal aspects of the documentation. Would be
enough for now ...

I will write some words for the German translation team.

Thank you for the help,
Markus
