Most requested AOO translations
I looked at the download statistics for OpenOffice.org 3.3.0.
Although the numbers are much smaller than the AOO 3.4.x downloads, we
still get a steady stream of 3.3.0 download requests.
Why? Mainly to cover languages not supported yet in AOO.
Specifically, these are the top most requested downloads for OOo 3.3.0:
1. OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install_da.exe
2. OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install-wJRE_nb.exe
3. OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install_nb.exe
4. OOo_3.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_nb.dmg
5. OOo_3.3.0_MacOS_x86_install_da.dmg
So Danish and Norwegian Bokmål.
Looking at Pootle, Danish is at 97% and Norwegian is at 98%. So both
are very close.
Any ideas on where we could find volunteers to help finish these
translations? I'd love to be able to have refreshed release of AOO
3.4.1, with these languages added, as well as others that are complete
or nearly complete, like Scots Gaelic and Indonesian.
Regards,
-Rob

Let's give that a try.
I've added a paragraph at the start of those home pages asking for volunteers:
http://www.openoffice.org/no/
http://www.openoffice.org/da/
Each page gets around 2000 visits per day. So this could be a good
way to find volunteers.

We could start with our own social media, and pages:
http://www.openoffice.org/da/
http://www.openoffice.org/no/ (I didn't find "nb", just "no")
Their content is rather old, and offering the old version. May be we can
put a banner, even in English, asking for help to translate the brand
new version to their language.
