to build locales for over 100 African languages. The project is now<br>
ready to line up volunteers and get to work.<br>
<br>
You can view a presentation about the initiative at:<br>

<br>
The main requirements for a volunteer are:<br>
<br>
1) literate in the target language<br>
2) comfortable using computers<br>
3) can volunteer about 1 or 2 hours<br>
4) finishes what they start<br>
<br>
If you are willing and able to help, please look through these lists of<br>
languages, and contact <a href="mailto:locales@africanlocalization.net" target="_blank">locales@africanlocalization.net</a> if you can work<br>
on one that does not yet have<br>
a volunteer:<br>

* Southern Africa: <a href="http://is.gd/3nJj" target="_blank">http://is.gd/3nJj</a><br>
<br>
(Note that we do NOT need volunteers for South Africa, because those<br>
languages already have good locales.)<br>
<br>
You can also help by letting your colleagues from other African language<br>
communities know about the project.<br>
<br>
We want to build all of these locales in a few months, so please let me<br>
know quickly if you can help out!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
