Hi all,
you are receiving this email because you have previously helped translating SuperTuxKart into many, many languages! First of all a big "thank you" for your support in the past!
In order to keep you all a bit better informed we have finally created an email list for translators. This will be a very(!) low volume email list, we intend to use it only to announce upcoming releases and string freezes. If you are interested to help us making SuperTuxKart accessible in the future, please subscribe to supertuxkart-translations@lists.sourceforge.net at: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/supertuxkart-translations
On a second note you might be aware that we are currently fighting to become SourceForge's "Project of the Month", see http://twtpoll.com/ragr0e . But after a good start with >30 votes ahead, we are now nearly 50 votes behind - and only ~5 days to go. I think that we are not reaching enough of our non English speaking fans (e.g. 20% of our downloads are from Brazil, but we have only 3 votes from there). We have also started an official twitter channel (@supertuxkart), but obviously won't gain a lot of attention in this short time frame. Unfortunately voting requires a twitter account.
If you have the time and think that SuperTuxKart should win, could you perhaps help us by trying to promote SuperTuxKart? E.g. perhaps post in forums, or tweet yourself or reply to tweets? We have tried to do so, but are limited in the amount of languages we can write.
Besides the above link to the poll there is the easier-to-remember vote.supertuxkart.net (which redirects to the above poll). We have also a promotional video, of a little trilingual STK fan: http://bit.ly/15jYGKY This shows the upcoming support of wiimotes in-game (though also asks for support), so posting this link is (imho) not just spam, but contains genuine new information.
Again, thanks a lot for all your help in the past, and hopefully more help in the future. We won't use the email addresses again (but I hope you accept us using them once), and instead use the new email list instead.
Best regards, Joerg
PS: Some web pages from which we get many hits (together with their languages as detected by google.translate). Those are just the ones I noticed in the (somewhat buggy) piwik output we see.
