 Hi Valent,

 Great to hear you're interested in contributing to Croatian. I think
 the other Fedora Croatian translators will appreciate your
 contributions! And I don't see a coordinator either at its page, so
 you might want to step up as one. :-)

 The idea about the localization marathons is very interesting. It
 reminds me of "sprints" the Django project is doing every now and
 then, where for a whole day people get together and work on fixing
 bugs etc. And with Fedora 9 coming soon, the timing is great to have
 one for Fedora translations.

 I was wondering if it'd make sense to have it globally, under the
 label of the Fedora Localization Project (FLP), instead of just the
 Croatian team. I think many people would like to participate in other
 languages as well, and this could become a success. So basically in
 this scenario we'll decide on a date, get a wiki page created, send an
 email to the lists and get together on IRC, let's say on a Saturday.
 And some teams will manage to meet face to face and have pizzas and
 fun. Do you see this as something we could do on a FLP scale?

 In terms of sponsoring, what would you be needed? A breakdown of the
 resources needed would help very much in getting it approved.
