If you are attending GUADEC in Birmingham, are interested in GNOME and translation, and have an hour or two weekly to spend on GNOME, I'd like to invite you to the GTP Spokesperson training session:
Meet me at the shirt give-away desk
So, the idea is to fix the bottleneck that Christian Rose and myself are at the moment: we are too busy with lots of stuff, so new contributors and administrative tasks revolving around updating teams database, and module database sometimes stall for too long (for a while, Claude Paroz has been very helpful with that).
And, if you decide to help out (and I feel I can trust you with this), it won't involve more than 20 minutes of work every week, and I hope to get a "GTP Coordination Team" up of at least 5 people who'll be authorised and familiar with how to manage GNOME translation teams. And for sacrificing this amount of time, you'll get more fame in GNOME — of course, I'd expect to already have online trust in you :)
The training session won't take more than 15 minutes, so you'll be able to get yourself some food before the next session starts.
