O citizens of Athens, nope sorry to all about mistake.

hello all and let me apologize to make a so late apology on my January test; 1) it is always a bad manner to make a test on maillist 2) and gave no reply, because it succeeded on a half, but failed on another half; I failed to subscribe this list, hence this is my first substantial post. 3) according to the custom of my ethnic, every greeting should start from apology.

my fellow ci^h^hWikipedians, expectedly you are so friendly to bear a series of newbie's questions; I was on a wikibreak since last year, and everything is new to me on this brave new world.

Well, where is the translators, more precisely, organizers? And where can I know what they (sorry for my own absence) have been doing until now? What kind of schedule we have now and who manage the necessary deadline(s), if necessary? (and from my experience, it should exist). It is not a criticism, but I really want to know it to avoid wasting time & work, not to put my feet on other's toe, and I find difficulties to track others' work specially in this sphere.

*CFP announcement distribtion Spring has come and we set a special wiki already (thanks for devs and all involved editors), and CFP has already been announced (thanks for Sj, Angela and all who helped to distribute this information on their favorite projects). Ideally CFP would distribute on every major langs, their maillists, their pumps: is there anyone who tracks either the whole or parts of distributions? AFAIK, March 30 or 31 might be the submission deadline for workshops and tutorials, so if some big projects still lack such information, they are better to be informed as soon as we can.

Another thought: the recently created communications committee has a special subcommittee for informing local projects on foundation matter. Wikimania CFP could be one of such information which those people are interested in caring for. Or not? (Of course, before they distribute, translation should have been done. But if we find helps, it is great).

*Website Website has been set with some contents. Though I wrote on the foundation-l that translators would work on meta, but now I'm not sure. On the current wiki, everyone can create their account. Is there any policy on account and workplace among involved people already?

*... and its langs We need to translate some pages into various languages. Is there any fixed policy which languages are must, strongly expected, welcomed but not necessary (i.e. we needn't go to mad, if no translator to this target lang is available)? If not already, who can determine? (I have my own idea, but it is another matter).

*Volunteers, teams and organizer(s?) sorry for my lengthy talk and thank you for your patience, that is my last section of questions.

Do we have one main organizer about this year's conference? In other words who is now playing the role of Elian in the last year?

I heard somewhere Delphine was appointed to be the organizer, but at the same time the community decides still their matter - she would care for finantial matters on the behalf of WMF at least according to my understandings (your correction will be appreciated, if wrong). Or in my own case, as one of volunteering translation coordinators, with whom I should talk when I need to make a decision whose effect is somehow unignorable? As for coordinators, who is responsible in the last minute? All of five (Sj, me, Dpalma01, Solensean, Wikipedius according to the page) or none? We need a communication channel if we work as a team, but as far as I know, there isn't such. We are hoped to have it within team, or allowed to use this list to communicate with other coordinators? (As for one of those, I have no idea where s/he comes from. There is no user page on meta, so I hope s/he is already on this list).

Thank you for your patience again and sorry for boring you. Nope I have one another question still - why is this list so hidden? It doesn't appear on http://mail.wikimedia.org and that is one reason I couldn't reach for a long time.

Apologies is there are unappropriate questions to this list. Suggestions of alternatives will be welcome.

Now it is already late, we must to go. -- Aphaea@*.wikipedia.org email: Aphaia @ gmail (dot) com
