New team for Shavian (en shaw)

[Thomas Thurman <tthurman gnome org>]

Shavian (en shaw) is an alternative alphabet for the English language,
less ambiguous and more efficient than the conventional alphabet.  It
has a small but dedicated worldwide following.

ISO 639/ISO 15924:  en shaw
Name in English: Shavian
Native name: 𐑖𐑱𐑝𐑾𐑯

The team translating Ubuntu into Shavian would also like to translate
GNOME into Shavian, and asks to become an official translation team.
All the current members of the team are capable programmers as well as
being fluent in reading and writing the Shavian alphabet.

Rather like en_GB, the translation can largely be done mechanically, but
it needs humans to check and fix the results.  A rough screenshot is at
http://marnanel.org/shavian/epiphany1 .

The team's current home page is http://ubuntu.shavian.org.uk .
It has a mailing list at ubuntu-l10n-en-shaw lists launchpad net
(archived at https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-l10n-en-shaw/ )
to which Bugzilla bugs can be sent.

I offer myself, Thomas Thurman, tthurman gnome org, as a contact for the
GNOME team.

Thomas
