<div>Hi team,</div><div><br></div><div>We are gearing up for another software sprint on the Open Font Library. We've been seeing some interesting uploads recently, and we want to make it even easier for people to contribute to and learn about the site.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Our broad goals for the next release are to:</div><div><br></div><div>1) increase user participation and retention in the site</div><div>2) improve communication between members and developers, and among all users</div>
<div>3) open up access to the translation tool and promote translation of the site</div><div><br></div><div>A lot of the focus on this release will be on the Guidebook (<a href="http://openfontlibrary.org/guidebook">http://openfontlibrary.org/guidebook</a>) and our new Translation Tool which is ready to be used, and which will allow us to make the Open Font Library available in multiple langauges.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We have a lot of issues currently on our tracker: <a href="https://launchpad.net/openfontlibrary/+milestone/0.5">https://launchpad.net/openfontlibrary/+milestone/0.5</a></div><div><br></div><div>However, for this first iteration will mainly be focusing on bugs and blueprints related to the three goals I mentioned above. We will definitely like your help in getting more designers, font users and translators to use the site!</div>
