Community participation in coordinating translations
The global translations coordination process in Ubuntu will be clearly documented and more structure will be provided to the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team (UTC). This will allow a more transparent process for the community to participate in and will also allow to formalize all steps required for ensuring that an excellent native language support is delivered upon each release. At the same time, Ubuntu developers will have a clear point of contact for anything related to translations and will be aware of the actions the UTC team can perform to assist them.

dpm, 2010-02-23: the idea of the documentation of the language pack generation was to provide a higher level view for members of the Ubuntu Translations Coordinators team on what the procedure is to release language packs, both for the stable and development releases. The aim here is to enable participation so that not all the work falls on the shoulders of the language pack builders. In terms of missing information, there wasn't much information on Firefox language packs and their structure until now, for example. In fact though, I think all documents can complement each other, so I've just moved https:/
