Is there a way for me to find out these things, or do I have to ask
you each time?

Is there a way for me to communicate with these five other than a
blast to the whole localization mailing list?

I asked two other questions:

Please take a look at the Recruiting Localizers section of the
Localization Wiki page. I want to see the same information for Nepali.
Do I need to do it myself, as I did for Khmer, or can I get some help?

Actually, I want to see the same kind of information for the 60 or so
languages in Pootle, and quite a few more. Is anybody willing? Having
some of you for each language and country spend a little of your time
on gathering information and recruiting others to the cause will get
us through much faster than keeping all your heads down and doing the
work with the few people we have now.
