Sorry, then. If Danish is not supported I would not like to
cooperate with Sun on administrative things for Gnome, and
I urge other Gnome people to also refrain from cooperating with Sun.
Please understand that this is a cooperative effort based on
voluntary work, and I find people that are specifically excluding 
Danish support to be not worth any help.
