cvsl10n Sponsorship and Listing of Sponsors
As a follow-up to the ongoing discussion about the "cvsl10n" sponsorship procedure, NorikoMizumoto and IgorSoares have put together a page[1][2] with the name of the Administrators and Sponsors of the "cvsl10n" group. IgorSoares suggested the formation of language groups to ease the sponsorship and an aging policy for unattended requests[3]. RunaBhattacharjee suggested if a patch to the existing FAS interface as possible, that would allow addition of the language name when a new member sends a request to join the FLP[4]. ChristianRose also suggested a patch for damned-lies that would allow addition of the "sponsor" information directly on the team's page[5].
