So It only means You are crossposted the mail to smc-discuss & i replied
to smc-discuss. I hope i dont need to teach netiquettes  to a GNU.org
Webadmin . So please stop crossposting.

You may have a need of ccing address@hidden and Yavor Doganov
in every mail  for keeping the position. But I feel it is not needed if
you are mailing this in a positive sense.

I can volunteer for www-ml project ( But i cant accept you as a project
admin, beacuse i lost the trust in you) as a reviewer (as in the old
days)  and do some translations too. But i need to get a txt or html
file for review.

I like to see the translations i did 3 years back & left with you  on
project repository as early as possible.


So i am sending my suggestions on your translations. But please finish
the text file and send for review

So My suggestions on your translations  are as follows
1. Your Crafting of sentences is not n Malayalam gramatic style .
2. some Translations is not accurate and those are general sntences with
the idea

Your 1st sentence must be
ഗ്നു സിസ്റ്റം എന്ന പേരില്‍ യുണിക്സിനെപ്പോലുള്ള പൂര്‍ണ്ണമായ ഒരു ഓപ്പറേറ്റിങ്ങ് സിസ്റ്റം 
സ്വതന്ത്രമായി നിര്‍മ്മിക്കാനായി 1984 ല്‍ തുടങ്ങിയ സംരംഭമാണ് ഗ്നു സംരംഭം.

3. use common words than jargons  സമാപ്തമായിട്ടില്ല = തീര്‍ന്നിട്ടില്ല

4. 'GNU is used with the kernel Linux' Doesnot mean  'Linux is the 
Kernel used by GNU'  Please translate it properly
5. 'Sometimes this combination is incorrectly called Linux' Does not 
mean  Sometimes people incorrectly call it as Linux. The important word 
combination  is missing here.
6. വകഭേദങ്ങള്‍ ശരി , വകകഭേതങ്ങള്‍ തെറ്റ് spell properly സ്വതന്ത്രം എന്നതും 
സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം എന്നതും പകരത്തിനുപകരം ഉപയോഗിക്കരുത്

7. Translation for Distribution = വിതരണം
8. 'GNU/Linux Distribution '  cant be translated as 'GNU/Linux Software'

I am leaving from office now. Send more suggestions soon.  I only 
Completed first 3 paragraphs of your translation
It is easy 4 me if you are sending a text file
