Hi Alexander,

I'm indeed doing a poor job as a coordinator, especially during the
last N months. Here is why:

1. I'm not willing to invest a large portion of my free time in translations.

Possible solutions:
 - find more reviewers (e.g. assume your translations are good enough,
even though I find some mistakes);
 - elect someone else as a coordinator.

2. Reviewing translations is not that rewarding when there is little
activity in our mailing list, because I'm a social person (in fact
anyone is, but I guess especially Russians and open-sourcers are).

Possible solutions:
 - being in touch more closely (because e-mails are not that
interactive) ---> see my private e-mail regarding this;
 - recruit more translators, at least for hype in the mailing list (as
soon as we have enough reviewers);
 - elect someone else as a coordinator.
