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

[Jeffrey M. <Jef...@Br...>]

Our site is currently quite out of date.  The java-gnome team
is interested in finding somebody that will take responsibility
to stay informed on the status of the project, coordinate with
all of the translators, and ensure that the site is kept 
up-to-date.  If you are interested in this task please respond
to this list.
