Re: [libreoffice-l10n] Request For Papiamento

Hello Ace, and welcome onboard!

I've just granted you (user name acesuares) admin permissions on our pap
project in Pootle. I suppose we probably should treat one of the
dialects of Papiamento as base, you can choose which one. We can add
projects for other dialects whenever feasible.

As you can probably see, we only have Terminology currently enabled for
Papiamento. Other projects can be enabled as necessary, just send a
request to the mailing list. Please also add your team(s) to the wiki
page at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Language_Teams, so that
potential future volunteers have a point of contact.

Regards, and have a good ride!
