Ubuntu Launchpad contains a big portion of GNOME as well. Bosnian is currently No 1 in Ubuntu Launchpad, but GNOME upstream translation is quite weak.

Nice work done there! Congratulations!

Thank her for all her work on GNOME!

> Actually this can be improved. We have many translations in Ubuntu Launchpad, and difference between Bosnian and Serbian ijekavian essentially does not exist (the only difference is that Serbian team translated program names, while Bosnian keeps them in original), so I can reuse their translations as well. I think, I can raise Bosnian translation completeness from current 15% to 80% in just few days, and in Fall 2013 to 100%.

That will make things really easy then. Start putting them on
Damned-Lies (http://l10n.gnome.org) on the right module and later on
someone with git access will push them (just ask in this mailing list
for someone to push the translations).

> I am already KDE translation coordinator with SVN account. What is procedure of becoming GNOME coordinator, and receiving GIT account when the language exists, but the coordinator is inactive for a long time?

Send this mail asking to become the coordinator and add on CC the
current coordinator and ask her to reply confirming that she wants to
resign the coordinatorship and hand it over to you.

Still, as I said two paragraphs above, that doesn't prevent you to keep
uploading translations on l10n.gnome.org so that when the mails are sent
and replied there's already translations to upload :)

Cheers,
