[Live-demo] Should we create an OSGeo-Live translators email list?

[Ko Nagase]

Hi Cameron, list,

+0

I can't expect how much traffic will the new translation mailing list have.
So, I think that starting from putting [TR] in the subject (as Richard
Wrote) is better
until the each translators get used to the new Transifex way.

I agree with creating the new translation mailing list
when its traffic becomes too much and the questions become varied in
each language.

Regards,
