L10N FAD should be mainly the place to contribute l10n as well the
place receive support about l10n. A translator may want to have
questions, such as I want to understand the mechanism of an i18n
process better, or I want to know the reason why my effort is not
reflected in particular release, or I have the experience being asked
to create a patch what to do, or I filed the bug but never be solved,
and more. Some of senior translators may know the fact or have the
answer, but it would be best to have an answer from a developer so
that he/she notice our issue and take them back their team to share.
In this aspect, it is different from flock and a developer has no time
to showcase their piece of art. This is best place for them to
advertise their software in order to boost the localization percentage
and quality for their software (community of practice).
Besides, Internationalization and Localization are totally different.
Without i18n process, a software is not localizable. Besides, if no
one from l10n team work for a software, it is no point that software
to be i18n.
I feel some or more developers misunderstand that Localization will
automatically happen once they give internationalization process, aka
all translators magically find their repo and give a translation
whenever they want. Actually we sometime have been doing this, cz we
are so smart.
I hope my feeling is totally wrong.

Thank you, Rafal, for sharing your experience.
True, let's leave it as l10n fad for now. I still like the idea to
call it g11n fad, if more variety of topics come up.
I18n team focuses on i18n, so that one of closest team to us, and they
can help l10n team in the i18n aspect. I learned a lot and received
help from Akira, Parag, Jens, Pravin and many of i18n team. They are
usually not translators. This can be said same with fltg and zanata
teams. We work closely, and as the unity, we call g11n. I hope I do
not misunderstand the concept.
