[Live-demo] Motion: That we set up an OSGeo-Live Translators email list

[Cameron Shorter]

Kari, Richard,

Thanks for sharing your translating experience regarding translations 
and email lists. I'll be really interested to hear from other 
translators as well. What do translators think is the most effective 
form of communication?

I'll send an email to each of the OSGeo-Live translators I'm aware of 
and invite them to contribute to this email thread (they may need to 
join the email list first).
