I left Desktop Summit with this idea floating around, thanks for
bringing it up.

Yes definitely is a must-do. LibreOffice, Firefox or Wikipedia have more
translation teams than GNOME, so...
- Which ones are we missing?
- How we can encourage them to start translating GNOME?
- How can make it easier for them to start with?

And some more questions can arise, the second one (outreaching) is the
key, but how to tackle it? Just spamming them? :) Contacting with the
LibreOffice/Firefox/Wikipedia/whatever project l10n coordinators to ask
them about how to tackle their translation community? There's plenty of
debate around, anyone taking a lead?

Cheers,
