15 Hi Flammie,
16
17 devrel should contact you to set up your account.
18 You're right about the quiz being useless at assessing whether a doc
19 translator would be up to the task but a Lead/Follow-up Translator is also a
20 Doc Dev and a Gentoo Dev and it is fair to expect any dev has a minimum of
21 knowledge about Gentoo.
22 I trust the devrel team take the position asked into account when assessing a
23 candidate's answers to the quiz.
24 Considering you won't be able to screw up portage, I hope it won't take too
25 long to set you up.

27 FWIW, I was quite happy with the answers you sent to recruiters@g.o
28 Given the contacts we've had on IRC and the translations you have already
29 submitted on b.g.o, I am quite confident you'll do a good job and your
30 mentorship period should not last too long, depending on your activity of course.

33 With kind regards,
