Sounds great! ;-) Then I would like if the top translations teams (the
ones closes to 100% on http://www.gnome.org/~kmaraas/status.shtml, to
make a little status report about what is not translatable, and where
there are problems, etc. So we can make sure that all strings are marked,
etc.

I would like to help these translations team with this help if they want
it. The ones discussed are Russian, Swedish, Norwegian and Danish. These
are so close to 100% on the status list that they deserve to be 110%
perfect. :) 

Kjartan, frob, et al - maybe you have some other ideas? The idea is that
it will be a great to use the 100% translated languages in marketing GNOME
in these countries, which is some of the work the upcoming European GNOME
Foundation has to do. Maybe we could make the 100% languages official
supported GNOME languages, or something? Suggestions are more that
welcome!

What about ggv, gnome-media, gtop or dia?

That sounds really great! Thanks for the coordination work Jacob.

We will try to make that then ;-)
