[Qgis-tr] Help developing a project proposal for QGIS translation

[Werner Macho]

Hi Craig,

Richard already pretty much summed it ip.
If there is no repsonse from the current maintainer within 2 weeks than it
is time to change the maintainer ;)

If you'd like to jump in - you are more than welcome to do so.

I think there is no more to add for me except to say thank you.

If you need anything just drop us a note.

regards
Werner
