About unsubscribed senders - moderation
Since the help requests were published on top of the localized AOO
homepages there were a lot of new volunteers for localization, and this
is good news.
The problem is that the mentioned request is written in a way so that
people understand to write directly to the mailing list without being
subscribed, generating "a lot of" work for moderators and some confusion
for who wants to reply.
So I propose that instead of writing "You can send a note to our mailing
list, ooo-L10n@incubator.apache.org, if you want to volunteer or if you
have questions." just ask to join the mailing list pointing to a page
section like this:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html#localization-mailing-list
What do you think?
Else, for the more skilled email-client users, there is a way to mark
automatically the messages coming from unsubscribed users by adding a
filter to the client, matching the header "Delivered-to" containing the
word "moderator", as Andrea said in a previous thread.

We just have to think about the volunteers, who want to help but do not
want to see/participate in the mail traffic (one of the danish volunteers
is like that).

I've gone ahead and updated that web page so it asks translation
volunteers to subscribe to this list.
See: http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/translate.html
Hopefully this will help.

The help requests I've written don't mention the mailing list
directly. Instead they point to:
http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/translate.html
We should probably make that page reflect what we want new volunteers to do.
