After reading www.li18nux.org I think they are not as buearucratic as
you think. The application form may just be used for providing more
info for them to know more about the parties who are willing to join,
as I can see that there are lots of organizations that have already
been accepted. As they say in their homepage they are open to anyone,
I think this is true.
I _really_ hope that someone from Debian JP or Debian KR (or any other
who are knowledgeable about i18n matters) can come out and be the
representative of Debian and join Li18nux, because Debian is a major
player in the GNU/Linux scene and we definitely should have a voice
in it. Anyone wants to take the job?
