Great!  I saw you made a video on f-droid:
http://gobblin.se/u/larjona/m/f-droid-project/

I've put it on my queue of things to watch in downtime. :)

Thanks, and good to know. :)

Do you ever hang out on IRC?  If you join #mediagoblin on
irc.freenode.net, that's usually where mediagoblin contributors discuss
thing.  Feel free to introduce yourself... I am paroneayea there.

But yes, filing bugs and testing things is good!

Okay, cool... at the moment I don't think we have a policy on how to
translate anything other than the software itself, but I will keep this
in the mind for the future.

Thank you!
