Re: [Request] Apply for a coordinator

[Claude Paroz <claude 2xlibre net>]

Hi Danishka,

If you are available to review any new contribution, I think it's fine 
if you remain the coordinator.

Otherwise, it would be great if you could train Udesh until he's ready 
to commit translations of acceptable quality, then transfer 
coordinatorship at some later time.

Udesh, you should also try to follow the standard workflow on 
l10n.gnome.org, that is to "Reserve a translation", then "Upload the 
translation (instead of pushing translations in a simple comment.
(see also https://l10n.gnome.org/static/img/workflow-translation.png)
And unless you have a specific reason to partially translate a module, 
you should ideally push 100% translated files.

Regards,

Claude
