You can add Softcatalà represented by myself for the Catalan translation
of the glossary. In our case, we already have a public glossary with
more than 1400 entries:

http://www.softcatala.org/projectes/eines/recull/recull.htm

There are terms from GNOME, Mandrake, Mozilla, Netscape 4.7, Eudora, AbiWord,
and other products that we have localised. I do know know if makes
sense for us to translate the GNOME glossary or just update our big
glossary to reflect the GNOME terms that you still not represented and
tell new translations to have a look to our glossary.  

Thanks,

Jordi,
