[edit] Členství
Ahoj Okino, jsem teďka v Budapešti až do konce týdne a nějak nezvládám do valné hromady dořešit ten problém s členstvím. Chtěl jsem tě poprosit, jestli bys to nemohl zařídit, aby všechno klaplo. Pak se domluvíme, kdy to osobně srovnáme. Pozdravuj v Praze, doufám že se to v sobotu všechno vyřeší. Kdybyste něco potřebovali, klidně mi zavolej, nebudeme koukat na utracené na forinty... --Zirland 14:40, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Translator, We need you!
Dear Okino,
You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.
Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.
If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.
Many Thanks
