Like MinSik Cho wrote, I can't verify whats up with their applications to
join the group. Decline them with a good message, or not, but don't let
them stay in the list for about 4 months.

Adolfo: I just try to do my best. We have to manage quite many translation
teams. I see, that people from G+ all the time ask, where they should join,
becouse they don't know whats up with the progress, and they don't know how
to participate in the progress. Than they don't get it, and cancel their
application for the team. After that they are confused by this process.

Please decline them with a good message, like get more translation karma,
read our guidelines, etc. , but please don't let people wait.


Thanks for your work on translations, guys, I just didn't knew whats up.

I don't want to blame anyone...

Have a nice thanksgiving.

Cheers, Eduard Gotwig
