Excellent!

Um. If I recall correctly, I've contributed to:

gnome-themes
gtk+
gnome-panel
gnome-applets
gnome-terminal
gnome-session
glib
libwnck
gnome-desktop
gnome-mime-data
gnome-media

I may have contributed to others in your list; I forget.

Debian unstable is at 2.2.1 right now - will the translations go into
2.2.2, or into the 2.3 series?

I played around with making Welsh-enhanced versions of Debian GNOME
packages. I managed to make a .deb for gnome-panel, but compilation took
far too long with just that one package to contemplate doing the same
for others. Besides, I'd have to recompile with each Debian release of
the packages to stay current and the translations would get out of date.
I kept the modified gnome-panel installed until it was superceded by a
new version, and decided to wait until the translations were in Debian's
packages.
