Localize.drupal.org is becoming one of the least taken care of properties on drupal.org. Although Sebastien Corbin does a heroic job preparing the Drupal 7 site upgrade, that is still off in the future. There are existing bugs (in translation packaging, project parsing, performance, etc). Noticed that the frontpage stats have been disabled for performance reasons for months? Yeah. There are infrastructure tasks and Sebastien also needs people to join porting the site to Drupal 7.

With Drupal 8 planned to be relying even more on data from localize.drupal.org directly, the site will gain even more prominence. We can safely say though that pretty much nothing is going to change/be fixed on the site if people don't step up. Time for you to make a contribution!

To help people get started I'm holding a BoF at DrupalCon Munich titled "We love localize.drupal.org". If you do too, and want to help, come and discuss.
