Hi Damien,

Sorry for the extremely long delay in this response, I've been a little
more busy recently than it is healthly for a sane human being.

:)

I'm the (sort of) coordinator of the pt_BR translation effort. As it is
clear by now, we don't have a very structured translation team. We
usually work with lone ranger style translators, and don't have a
revision procedure in place. If my track record is any indication, we
never will.

So, the Sun offering of professional translators is very welcome. Thank
you.

In general, in relation to the documentation we don't have any recent
work done. The Sun can freely busy thenselves with any document they
desire, there is no need for community syncronization. I'd like to be
informed, out of curiosity.

In relation to message catalog translation, we have already translated a
great deal of the modules. Those translations were never revised and
some are crearly outdated. We will gladly hand them over to the Sun
translators according to the published plan. I only ask to be notified
as the contact point intead of Jorge, who can still be contacted as a
backup. I particularly interested in notifications of cvs commits, as
usually this is my responsability for the pt_BR team.

Bye,
Gustavo
