Ok, then. Since noone seems to have heard from Christian Neumair for the
last two months I assume that he is no longer reachable and we need a
new German coordinator. Fortunately, I'm able to read German, and so it
seems there was voting and agreement on you being the new coordinator.
I've updated the http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html page
now, listing you as the new German coordinator.

If you should ever meet Christian Neumair again, feel free to pass on my
thanks for his time as coordinator. Also, feel free to also give him a
slap from me for not properly announcing the coordinator change
upstream. :)

Finally, I wish you all the best as the new German cordinator.


Christian



PS. Frank Arnold did eventually receive a CVS account, although for
other contributions not related to German translations. DS.
