Yes, and I planned to put a zh_TW tree on it later, but no decided yet.

I need a little time to think about it. By the way, I´ve also been
talking with folks from l10n-tw recently, hoping to get more people
involved. Some have mentioned that the email-based workflow is a bit
cumbersome and that the barrier to entry is somewhat high.

and they are doing this job differently:

I will communicate with them later to see if we can cooperate or not.

I recently came across your work - it looks great, and I'm looking

Yes. And it seems there's no problem with the synchronization these two
days.

Thanks!
