I have wanted to talk about the role of translations of OWN in another
thread on -marketing list.
http://lists.opensuse.org/archive/opensuse-marketing/2011-01/msg00276.html
But unfortunately, only few were involved in that discussion.

I think the most important role of translation of OWN is to inform
openSUSE-related important information which everyone should know to
those who are not good at reading English.

For that purpose, we can always say "it's better than nothing".

In this case, just focusing how German OWN should be, I also have to say
"it's better than nothing".

It's easy to say "you should publish German OWN on current openSUSE
infrastructure". But if someone tells (or ask) Sascha to do so, (s)he
should be responsible to help to do so at the same time. If no one
except Sascha step forward to translate OWN into German, only Sascha can
decide which way is the best. Just saying "although I won't do, you
should do!" won't motivate others.

But still, I really wish Sascha (and other open-slx guys) will choose
the way where WE can collaborate ALL TOGETHER, instead of the way of
open-slx's own.

When you say 'We', I hope that means 'you and me, including open-slx
guys, other openSUSE community guys and all the people who loves our
Geeko' rather than 'just me and other open-slx guys' - that's my honest
wish. ;-)

Best,
