And noone denies you to do it. You just don't want to work with the
current coordinator. So -- who cares? If you want to improve GNOME
then just translate it silently and post your files to Bugzilla so
that coordinator can review it and commit your work into SVN (of
course in case your work is consistent with existing translations and
doesn't break the completeness of previous translations). If he won't
do his work with no reasons specified then complain on it (not the
person). If you can't show us that the current coordinator doesn't do
his homework then he works good. If you can then we will try to
resolve the problem by pressing on the coordinator or by replacing him
with another translator who wants to coordinate the project and who
have enough knowledge for it and respect in the community (hint: I
think you don't have the last 2 positions). If you just can't live
with people then just step away from the community. Roger that?
