Re: Update on Glossary part 2

[Aoife Dunne - Sunsoft ELC <Aoife Dunne Sun COM>]

Hello All

I understand if you are busy but would appreciate it if the below 
volunteers would send me a quick e-mail giving me your best completion 
date for the Gnome glossary.  We would really like to start using the 
glossary as reference during the next couple of weeks.

In addition, for the languages we are missing volunteers, if anyone has 
the time to translate the 900 term glossary, please send me a e-mail.
