L10N FAD should be mainly the place to contribute l10n as well the place 
receive support about l10n. A translator may want to have questions, 
such as I want to understand the mechanism of an i18n process better, or 
I want to know the reason why my effort is not reflected in particular 
release, or I have the experience being asked to create a patch what to 
do, or I filed the bug but never be solved, and more. Some of senior 
translators may know the fact or have the answer, but it would be best 
to have an answer from a developer so that he/she notice our issue and 
take them back their team to share.

In this aspect, it is different from flock and a developer has no time 
to showcase their piece of art. This is best place for them to advertise 
their software in order to boost the localization percentage and quality 
for their software (community of practice).

Besides, Internationalization and Localization are totally different. 
Without i18n process, a software is not localizable. Besides, if no one 
from l10n team work for a software, it is no point that software to be 
i18n.
I feel some or more developers misunderstand that Localization will 
automatically happen once they give internationalization process, aka 
all translators magically find their repo and give a translation 
whenever they want. Actually we sometime have been doing this, cz we are 
so smart.
I hope my feeling is totally wrong.

Thank you, Rafal, for sharing your experience.
True, let's leave it as l10n fad for now. I still like the idea to call 
it g11n fad, if more variety of topics come up.

I18n team focuses on i18n, so that one of closest team to us, and they 
can help l10n team in the i18n aspect. I learned a lot and received help 
from Akira, Parag, Jens, Pravin and many of i18n team. They are usually 
not translators. This can be said same with fltg and zanata teams. We 
work closely, and as the unity, we call g11n. I hope I do not 
misunderstand the concept.
