At the moment, I do not have to time to do the usual localization
coordination :-(  All in all, this is not that much work, but I cannot
promise anything.  These steps are usually required (to the tough part
always is to figure out when):

1/ Mail Jiri (jsrain at suse cz) to update yast pot files.

2/ Send reminders to the lcn software maintainers; there is a script:
50-tools/maintainer-reminder.sh

3/ Do the merging.  I can help with this if needed.

4/ Keep the translators updated by sending mails to this list:
opensuse-translation@xxxxxxxxxxxx


I'll do my usual packaging (desktop-translations, yast2-trans,
slideshow, release-notes, translation-update), if nobody else want to
volunteer.
