I still won't be able to fulfill the duties of a Translation Project
spokesperson for the forseeable future, and I would happily assign my
position to you as soon as possible, if I could only get the other TP
spokesperson, Danilo, to agree on that. So far I've unfortunately been
unsuccessful at contacting him, so I don't know whether he agrees or
not, and since I unfortunately wasn't able to attend Guadec this year,
I know nothing more than you about Danilo's plans.

Personally, I think the most straightforward solution right now is to
continue with two TP spokespersons, where my position will be replaced
with someone else. Release team, I would be happy to see Claude on
that position. He has already done a tremendous amount of work
responding and coordinating efforts on the gnome-i18n mailing list,
and I think he and Danilo will be able to continue doing a good job,
working as a team.
