Hi everyone,

The 2011 fundraiser is soon coming up, and we want it to be a success in every way, including localization. You may remember Casey posting an e-mailhttp://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/translators-l/2011-June/001716.htmlabout a survey for translators in June. I want to thank all of you who participated in the survey, we got many responses from people who are interested in helping.

This year we want to build teams for the different languages, with each team having one or two coordinators to make sure the translations are done in time and with good quality. We have coordinators for many languages already, but there are still some big languages that have no coordinators, and we could need more volunteers doing that. These languages include:

- Dutch - *French* - German - *Hindi* - Italian - *Japanese* - Portuguese - Spanish

These are the most important languages where coordinators are needed. For the bold ones we don't have any coordinators yet, for the others we have one. If you are interested in coordinating one of these languages, please e-mail me. If you want to help coordinate another language or help out with translation or proofreading, do the same.

Cheers, Jon Harald Søby Fundraiser Production Coordinator
