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

Tue Oct 24 12:12:36 PDT 2017

Hi all, in our OSGeo-Live weekly meeting yesterday we decided not to set 
up an OSGeo-Live translation list for now.

Reason being that we have a number of translators agree with Kari's 
point that it can be managed by convention within the OSGeo-Live list.

We can reassess in a few months if people think that such a list is needed.

Cheers, Cameron
