Hi everyone,
One of the most active members of our small translator community and on this list, Purodha, has passed away, his political party states http://www.seidenstadt-piraten.de/2016/08/26/wir-trauern-farewell-purodha/. On his Meta talk page, he reported having had a serious health breakdown in mid-August, but was recovering and even resumed translating. Unfortunately, his recovery didn't last long. We'll have fewer Ripuarian translations in the future.
He was active in the German-speaking community and there's a condolences page on German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Purodha/Kondolenzliste

I was not expecting this at all, not that it's ever expected...

This is very sad.
He was not only a prolific translator, but a prolific bug reporter, too.
May he rest in peace.
Indeed. Also developed patches.
His activity can be seen here:

Can we find the open bugs he voted for/awarded tokens to? And do the hardest one in his honour?
