I was just checking ruby-lang.org, and the various translated versions, 
and there are numerous gaps in posts being translate from English.

So here's someone offering to help out with a community-driven, 
open-source project that clearly needs the help, and is greeted with a 
lecture on grammar and told to come back later.

I'm sure we all want translations to be clear and accurate, but surely 
we can find some way to encourage more people to contribute what they can.

If nothing else, whoever is the ruby-lang.org webmaster should send a reply.

(BTW, who *is* the the ruby-lang.org webmaster?)
