The point was keeping this "New Language Process", which is usually
done in private mail between the translator and me, in public.

Thus, other potential translator can understand what is involved and
what will be expected from them.

The first needed step is having some look at the installer i18n
documentation:

http://people.debian.org/~bubulle/d-i/i18n-doc

No need to read it completely. Probably chapters 1 and 3, starting by
chapter 3, are the most valuable for new translators.

I think that we should open a place in the debian-in repository for the
Hindi translations of the installer so that more contributors can work
on them by compelting them and reviewing them.

Jaldhar, we could maybe mimic the organization adopted by the Arabeyes
project in their repository (I follow their work and I can explain).

I hope that Ravi Shrivastava will post an answer here. IIRC, he
follows this list as weel, but I CC him just in case.
