> We are working in a set of policies for teams to be included in the

>
> We want to make sure users get the most of their native language

> practices for translations and of the existence of other projects'
> translation efforts.

<Praveen> Sure, I will be the coordinator.

<Praveen> Done. I am subscribed to the mailing list.

     * The team in Launchpad should be named 'ubuntu-l10n-te' instead
>        of 'ubuntutelugutranslators'

<Praveen> I have the admin rights for the ubuntu-l10n-te group now. Please
include this group instead.

     * The team in Launchpad should have a Moderated or Restricted
>        subscription policy. Only this way you can ensure the quality of
>        translations and make sure that upstream translations are not
>        modified for no good reason.
>

<Praveen> Done.


>      * There should be some form of communication between the members
>        of the Telugu translation team (e.g. mailing list, forum, irc,
>        etc)
>

<Praveen> I have requested for a mailing list and its now available (
https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-te)

      * We recommend the use of translation guidelines. For more
>        information see
>        https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/Guidelines
>

<Praveen> I will create a specific language guidelines soon.

     * The team should be aware of other upstream translation efforts
>        and coordinate with them whenever possible. For Telugu I see
>        that there is a translation team for GNOME already
>        (http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/te) and a Telugu subproject at

> <Praveen> Sure. Will do.

Do you think you could have a look at these points and comment (or act)

Hi David,

Apologize for the delay in reply to your mail.
I noticed that there is already a group ubuntu-l10n-te and it took me some
time to get myself the admin rights to it.

I have the rights now and we can proceed further on the inclusion.

Please find inline the answers to all the queries.

Let me know if I need to provide any further information.

Regards
Praveen
