Hi!

I generally agree.

But there is one thing that can leave us without any young blood. Yes, LP.

As it seems from Timelord reports, Kubuntu won't remove KDE translation  
 from LP or "Help translate this application" from menu. If someone want to  
translate, they either use Google and find LP on first positions or use  
"Help translate this application" item. In both cases LP (except from  
hidden wiki) does not give any hint about upstream.

Can something like "Please do not translate in LP. It's downstream, your  
translations will not be used in any distribution except Ubuntu-based ones  
and will be silently overwritten if someone change them in KDE repository  
even in Ubuntu-based distributions." be added on the page?

And where can I submit team mailing list address?

BTW can I update how-to when current changes on docbook autogeneration and  
other translation-related things will be in place?

Thanks in advance.
Yuri
