Hi Jody, Thanks for your note. I appreciate your point. The problem we
face here is that many potential developers don't know whom to link up
with, or where. If that link could be built, it would benefit us in the
Third World and also widen the reach of GNU/Linux. Permit me to copy this
to our IndicComputing mailing list. Thanks for your time. Are you based in
Canada? Could you give us a list of Gnome coordinators working on i18n?
