Yes they are not that much.

I still think that there are people who would use localised interfaces. As 
internet will penetrate deeper in rural areas, people will come to know about 
the applications and would need localised interfaces. The urban user might not 
need it. I don't have any data to back my assumptions but I also see some 
efforts from social media giants and other companies pushing for localisation, 
so there must be some market for it.

You can use the chat we use has mobile applications, checkout the links that I 
shared.  Once in 2 weeks sounds good. If it too bothersome or demanding we can 
may be meet once in 1 month.

I do not have any problem, we can request the sysadmins. But I think some 
teams like Malayalam and Assamese already have separate groups and mailing 
list. I'll ping them about this and then we can request the sysadmins.


Thank you
