Each project has its own maintainer and so you cannot just "take over for a month" ;) However, in the case of KDE, our coordinator's activity is less than satisfactory, so unless he quickly responds, I would be more than happy to hand it over to you for a month. This however, would not apply to other projects. > > I would also like to hear your suggestions regarding: > - priorities The priorities are set by the individual project maintainers. > - whether it's better to commit to Arabeyes first and then sync to the main > site or directly to the main site. Since we have been doing things on Arabeyes' CVS and then sync'ing, the natural response would be -- working on Arabeyes and then sync'ing. Munzir, people who wish to contribute in translating for x project will have to go through the normal procedure everyone has to go through (registration, application for CVS account, etc.). I'm not sure I understand how you wish to go about doing this (I'm getting the feeling you have some other plan for how you want it done). If you have better suggestions, let us know.
