Summary:
Localisation (Greek language)

Detailed description:
I started localising GNOME for the Greek language since around 1998/1999, being assisted by Spyros 
Papadimitriou (initial translator).
> From 1999 and until the autumn of 2002 I was the main translator and leader of the project.
> From 2003, other translators I assisted more translators to join the effort (Kostas Papadimas (CVS: pkst), 
> Nikos Charonitakis (CVS:frolix68), Petros Velonis).
Now I am co-leader of the Greek localisation project for the GNOME with Kostas Papadimas (CVS: pkst). 
Externally (on GNOME.org) I am the leader of the Greek Localisation Project 
(http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html)

Once a new stable GNOME version comes out, I make an announcement for the Greek audience (did GNOME 2.2 and 
2.4), listing the translation effort of each individual member (CVS logs). I have writted a document listing 
the localisation effort for GNOME since the beginning (http://planet.hellug.gr/credits/GNOME-TEAM-1.0.sxw)

I either filled or contributed to several bugzilla reports 
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=anywords&keywords=&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEEDINFO&bug_status=RESOLVED&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=CLOSED&emailassigned_to1=1&emailreporter1=1&emailqa_contact1=1&emailcc1=1&emaillongdesc1=1&emailtype1=substring&email1=simos74&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&changedin=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0=)

I assisted in the creation of www.gnome.gr (applied at www.hellug.gr for hosting, converted the Mambo server 
installation to utf-8, other technical assistance). It's still being developed.
