The Fedora Localization Project - Introduce Yourself to the L10N Project
When a new writer/editor/maintainer/coordinator joins the Localization Project, we ask that he/she introduces themselves on the fedora-trans-list mailing list. To sign up for the list, visit the fedora-trans-list signup page. The primary purpose of this is to begin the process of building trust by learning about the translator, and downloading their GPG key.
The purpose of all this is to break anonymity and foster real-world community within the project. You are under no obligation to reveal personal secrets. The objective is to establish a level of trust with yourself and the other members of the project. Then tell us what you would want to know about yourself. :-)
Following is an example of how such an email could look like.

- GPG KEYID and fingerprint
- See DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys for help and instructions if you don't have a GPG key.
- Be sure that your GPG key is uploaded to pgp.mit.edu. Use "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-key KEYID".
- Your GPG fingerprint is 40 hexadecimal characters long, while your KEYID is the last 8 digits.
- Below is an example of a block of text suitable for cut & paste into your self-introduction e-mail.
