No Samoan politics involved with TuxPaint of which I am aware.

There is no connection between OLPC or Sugar Labs and TuxPaint other
than the fact that TuxPaint is a great kid's tool.

Many of us at Sugar Labs do what we can to promote the L10n of great
kid's software (as long as it is under an open-source license) without
regard to who makes it.  In the FOSS world, that is known as "showing
some love to the upstream".

You will run into many of the same people on various L10n lists
because most localizers owe their first allegiance to their language,
unlike developers who are often loyal to particular packages or
distro.
