But just the setup will not give you translations for free. Even if we 
set it up, I fear no one will translate it. Therefore I wonder whether 
it makes sense at all to enable the infrastructure if no translator 
looks at it.

Or in other words: Does the translation team want to have every possible 
project in Zanata? Or only those they want to translate? And then the 
question is which ones to translate?
