Don't think this is getting us anywhere. Nobody is trying to keep 
newbies from contributing. Main problem in this area is probably 
that we don't have an experienced l10n contact person as a mentor 
for newbies at the moment who knows the usual problems for 
beginners and provides some guidance for setting everything up 
correctly. We had something like this over the first years for a 
reason, just as the whole "coordinator" system.

I think, it would be great if we could find somebody for this job 
again or maybe a few "old hands" who could take on the 
responsibility similar to the people behind the 
"sysadmin@kde.org" address.

Kind regards,

Thomas
