Dear translator teams,
I have a tiny word issue with roles in localization, we currently have a
mix-up of words. After the little email discussion with Noriko and
conversations at Flock, I feel like a general consensus already exists,
but I prefer to write it here.
TL;DR; For a L10N Team, we currently have different roles about the
person who manage it : sponsor, maintainer, lead and coordinator. I
request the right to use "coordinator" as language on all wiki pages.
Please react here if you strongly disagree. If there is disagreement,
feel free the react for or against the proposal.

Some definition :
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/sponsor
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/coordinator
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/maintain
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/leader
When reading the definitions, the coordinator is the most logical word
to use to me.
Here is my understanding of his roles :
* helping access management (groups approval and introduction)
* explain Fedora process and send relevant information to the language
team
* being a privileged contact for newcomers
* answer questions and help community to have a continual improvement
process (includes reaching consensus and help problem solving)
By the way, to make a full explanation, here is the role I see for a
language team : helping to have the best end-user "language" experience.
Please note this is not Fedora software focused but Fedora product
focused, it means we sometimes/often improve upstream project. The
translation priority is defined per team, but a global priority lists
already exists for fedora packages.
thanks for your time,
