Hi Dov,

If you have the time, let's see how far we can get with this idea,  
and see if it'll work in the short term for us (until we have a  
fuller discussion of moving to a better system).

My recommendation would be this:

* sign up for a Launchpad account
* create your own bzr branch of the 2.1 official branch
* integrate the Hebrew translation into your branch and test it
* push your branch to your Launchpad user account
* let us know what the URL is

We can then try to merge your branch into the official 2.1 branch if  
it all looks good, we can commit the changes.  You can keep your  
branch up to date with the official one by doing 'bzr pull' or 'bzr  
merge' when you see changes on the mailman-checkins list.

Cheers,
- -Barry
