Hello If now one else has volunteered to take that job before, I would like to work on the Estonian translation/language pack for Mailman. A little background information about me: I have previous experience in localizing gettext based applications. I'm part of KDE's Estonian language team, where the localization of programs the kdegames module is my responsibility. I have also worked on unofficial translation of Majordomo[1] and a number of other smaller programs. Currently I am also administrator for 2 small Mailman installations, which run 30 and 10 lists respectively. Based on that, I believe that I have the necessary knowledge and skill for this job. I have a pretty clear picture of what is involved and I'm all set up for it; all I need is an OK from you. [1] unofficial, because it didn't have any support for gettext or similar internalization libraries and therefore translating it ment changing the code directly. -- Anti Veeranna duke@linux.ee

You've definitely got my go ahead. The language code for Estonian is `et' right? What's the character set? When you're ready send me a tarball created from the top of the source tree, containing the messages/et and templates/et directories. Alternatively, we can talk about setting you up with cvs write privileges to the `et' subdirectories, like many of the other language champions have. Contact me off-list if you want this. BTW, I'm about to upload a new language pack corresponding to Mailman 2.1beta2. Are folking finding these helpful? It's more work for me to create them, so unless it specifically makes the translators jobs easier, I'm inclined to stop generating them (normal users or site admins won't need them). -Barry
