    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi all,<br>
      <br>
      I'm agree with the short term plan.<br>
      <br>
      Some lists are not used since ages (more than 4 years for the -pl
      or -cn), so I propose to close them now.<br>
      We can send a mail to semi actives lists (fr/de/br, in native
      language ? (anybody to help ? :))) which explain the plan, and
      redirect people to the global xfce-i18n.<br>
      <br>
      About long term, I'm agree too. We need a big revamp of the
      translator wikis and simplify the "introduce" process (

      you still motivated?<br>

      I'm available on freenode/#xfce-dev , so whoever wants to help on
      this topic, ping me :)<br>

                                <br>
                                I recently went through many parts of
                                Xfce's i18n infrastructure and<br>
                                documentation. To make it short: lot's

                                unmaintained but truly a lot of useful
                                gems grown throughout the years.<br>
                                <br>
                                So following up is my proposal for
                                reorganizing i18n in Xfce, split into<br>
                                two phases. I put it up on this list to
                                reach more people.<br>

                                A. Short term<br>
                                <br>
                                1. Dump mailing lists. One list
                                (xfce-i18n) is enough and for<br>
                                language-specific questions, discussions
                                a short [LANG] tag added to the<br>
                                email topic should do the distinction
                                job.<br>
                                Bonus: questions might be answered
                                quicker as more people read them.<br>
