Want to create a Bengali(bn) Translation Team

[Christian Stimming]

Dear Nasir Khan,

thank you for your interest in a Bengali translation of gnucash. This is a 
very good idea and we are looking forward to any contributions.

Actually, just today I exchanged some messages with the current TP maintainer, 
Erwin Poeze, and he proposed and agreed to offer gnucash translations at the 
TP again. This means you can indeed use the Translation Project and a Bengali 
translation team mailing list just as it is described there. You can submit 
your first parts of the translation also directly at the TP, and we will 
receive it and include it in our SVN codebase.

I think with this solution at hand, no additional mailing list at gnucash.org 
is necessary for you for now. Does that sound good to you?

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

Christian
