Definitely.

For this sort of work, though, a meritocracy tends to work pretty well (it's
how the GNOME project has been doing things for ages, after all), so I don't
think we're in a big hurry to choose people to head up the different parts of
the effort. Where leaders are needed, they'll emerge naturally.

By the way, I'm hoping specifically translation will be headed up by people
who are currently on the GNOME translation team. I know there are several of
them on this list, and it would be great if web site translation could be
considered a translation task along with application translations.
