I am so terribly sorry for this insanely late reply. There's work to do 
whereever you look, and some e-mails are in my inbox much longer than I 
want to - so sorry for that, please don't take it personally.

Thanks a lot for the kind words, really! Everyone does what she or he 
can, and I am proud to be working with such a wonderful team and community.

What I was referring to was the multilang functionality of the wiki, 
helping to provide pages in various languages. We currently do so on 
several pages, especially on help.libreoffice.org. In the future, I also 
plan to provide localized wikis for each language which helps in 
refining e.g. wiki searches, but for the moment, I think the current 
wiki does a good job.

I think we're a wonderfully inclusive community, and there's a place for 
everyone here at LibreOffice. We have people with many different skills, 
languages, areas of interests, and it all flies so very well together, 
so - why don't you give it a try? ;-)

Which is your main area of interest? Localization, documentation?

By the way, Montreal has been proposed as one of the locations for the 
LibreOffice Conference 2013. Elections will end early February, so 
there's a 50% chance that the next major conference will be hosted in 
Canada. :-)
