There is no more polish translators, I hope there will be more in the

I was wondering how will we solve it, because I automagically translated
overview's headers and details referring to license and things. I did not
submited it yet because the main description is not touched, so I have
submited only finished overviews.
I think including even partially translated overviews would possibly bring
us new translators.

I am able to keep polish documents up to date, even those partially
translated but I have no resources now to translate more.

All five translated Quickstarts refer to dealing with osgeo-live itself.

Whatever is submitted to svn is fully translated and reviewd, I check from
time to time for changes in en documents.
I can add all the remining overviews with automatically translated headers
and details, but  with original en descriptions (to attract more
translators). What do you think?
