Some info behind the scenes for those who do not read Slovak (in
chronological order, all happened in about a month - in January 2010):

- Laco joined the team.
- Laco asked for two modules for translation (yelp and
  notification-deamon).
- I assigned these two modules to Laco.
- Laco sent an email with "Challenge for coordinator change"[*]
- Laco uploaded his first translations of two assigned modules
