A little about myself.. Well, nothing much to tell really.. OSS localization-wise, Ive been working on Ubuntu Launchpad Gnome translation for about 9 months now.. So i think i have a bit of an idea of how that works.. Would be interested in starting out with something familiar to me.. so Gnome does sound like an OK entry point.. What i was interested in knowing, ( this question might seem a bit crude..), is how the Arabeyes project is organized as a meta project? Is it Distro specific? is it Desktop Environment specifc..etc? (
i.e would i be able to translate packages for both Suse and Debian for instance? - regardless of the desktop environment?-, and where would each be kept), how are baselines released?
I have to admit i still havent taken a thorough look at the documentation that was linked to me, I'm planning to do so over this weekend. Apologies if what i asked is already explained there.
