[java-gnome-hackers] RE: [Java-gnome-developer] volunteering to translate documents]

Great.  As far as I know the project cvs has the latest
snapshot of the site.  I will need to add you to the project
team so you will have write access to cvs.  Please send me
your sourceforge id and I will do this as soon as possible.
You might take the time to review the list and send an
email to all who are providing translations of the site and
introduce yourself.  

Once you are setup as a project member I would recommend
joining the java-gnome-hacker list.  This list is where the
project developers discuss the details of the project.  Also,
as stated in the request-for-help, the site needs to be updated.
