Re: Status of AbiWord Pootle hosting

Chris,
Pls let us AbiWord devs/localizers know the ideal medium to discuss
and collaborate with you. If it is irc of Sugar community, could you
share it for me, and the best time where there will be a considerable
activity.

Thank you for the analysis and the detailed responses to the queries
of our localization experts.

Thank you.
Regards,
Pradeeban.
