I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, I thought that anyone could request a translation there and I thought that the new guidelines for the multilingual IRC channel #wikipedia were a good candidate for translation. Feel free to revert what I’ve done; I’m new to translation. I did not try and assign it higher status than the WMF documents – those are definitely more important! Nothing I do is on behalf of ComProj and as an informal group, nobody can really act on behalf of ComProj. In the future, I’ll use Babylon.

Sorry!

Yup. I am sure that it was pure misunderstanding by Greeves.  He'll see this and find out, and can ask us any questions he has. :-)

Just to make it clear to everyone, ComProj is an unofficial collection
of people who want to help with communications projects that Sandy
needs doing, and that such a group allows us to work better together.
We do not have any authority or status (aside from as helpful
people!), and that is why we are able to have a completely open group
which anyone can join, which is a Good Thing :-)
