Re: debian-l10n-galician
ACK, no prob.
Indeed: just as an example, that l10n list working will allow an easy way
to all galician debian ppl having knowledge about things like those
conditions you claim.
Surely having that list working will empower volunteers communication
avoiding missunderstanding between them and strengthening the same time
the Debian project by avoiding that only-one-man's burning out danger.
My appreciation and support about your work in those years is a well
public position, and as you surely know it is a general position in the
comunity.
Best regards,
