You can send them to me, or someone else with CVS account willing to
commit the files for you. Just make sure the po files are encoded in
UTF-8 and that they pass the msgfmt ("msgfmt -cv ang.po") test without
errors or warnings. The msgfmt commandline tool is part of the gettext
software suite available on almost any Linux or Unix system. A recent
version of gettext is preferrable though.

Also please gzip the files if you send them by mail, since mail software
can do bad things to the encoding. Another option is to put the po files
on a web page somewhere and just send an URL in the mail, in which case
there is no need to gzip the files first.

PS: I noticed we still don't have an Old English component in our bug
tracker, Bugzilla:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=l10n. I'll send
another request for details needed to add an Old English component to
you. Please reply to that as soon as possible. We require teams to have
Bugzilla components so that there is an easy way of reporting any bugs
in translations from within Bugzilla. DS.
