Thank You Simos,

So our strategy is that: I and Alexander provide 
http://svn.inet.ge/svn/ka_GE/gnome/ , we both work on translations + 
(hope that we will receve
other people contribution as soon as possible, because work is big, and 
we must save our GNOME after ... hm, disaster)
After that Gia Shervashidze makes controls of our translations (He is 
our Language Georgianisation Master ;) Thanks Gia)
and put's them at http://www.gia.ge/index.php?pid=50. for general 
discussion. (in this moment we are only 3) :)
