Every language should have its own component under this product, but currently this isn't the case (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=l10n). I'm writing to you as you're listed as language coordinator, and your language currently lacks a component. In order to add a component for your language, we need to know the following information: * language code * language name (in English) * default owner (must be a valid bugzilla account) The default owner is the person who should be assigned the bugs by default. If he or she doesn't have a bugzilla account, he or she can create one at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/createaccount.cgi. * default qa contact (must be a valid bugzilla account) The default QA contact is usually the person who should make sure the bug was fixed properly by the assignee. If the qa contact person doesn't yet have a bugzilla account, he or she can create one at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/createaccount.cgi. This field is optional, you don't need to decide on a default qa contact if you don't want to. * component description Usually of the form "Here you can place your bugs about $LANGUAGENAME [$LANGUAGECODE] translations". Example: "Here you can place your bugs about Swedish [sv] translations". If you have the possibility, try also to translate this into ASCII-only English, and we'll use the translation as well. If you want, there's also the possibility to use a mailing list instead of an individual for the default owner and/or default qa contact fields. It's a bit more complicated; among other things you need access to the mailing list configuration. Here is what you should do if you want a mailing list in one or both of the fields above: 1) Create a bugzilla account for your mailing list, i.e. a Bugzilla account with your list's address as account name. 2) Subscribe the bugzilla deamon address (bugzilla-daemon@widget.gnome.org) to your mailing list, but also disable *ALL* mail from the mailing list to this address (If it's a Mailman mailing list you can change bugzilla-daemon@widget.gnome.org's mailing list options to NOMAIL). Once you have all the required information (and have configured your mailing list according to the above if you want to use a mailing list), please send this information to me. Thanks, Christian
