OK, can you please advise his e-mail address?
Let's wait 2 or 3 days (but not more) in case someone objects.

What differences?  There are differences that even classify as conflicts 
in your camp; AFAICT (except a few misunderstandings) we don't have a 
problem with any Malayalam contributor.

It mostly depends on Shyam, although some lags on our side are possible.  
If he/she is energetic enough, the process can take a week.  Usually it 
takes a month or two, and unfortunately often it doesn't happen at all 
since the prospective leader loses interest and doesn't reply to our 
questions/advices.  I hope this won't be the case with Malayalam.

I trust that you all have done the right thing.

(P.S.  FYI, we are in the process of revising the translation process.  
The full documentation is still not available, but all Malayalam 
gnu.org translators might want to read 
http://gnu.org/software/trans-coord/manual.  In short, this is something 
like gnome-doc-utils -- I'm sure some of you are familiar with it.  All 
translations are maintained as PO files, and the .LANG.html are 
automatically rebuilt daily.  This is how the Malayalam translations 
will be uploaded at gnu.org, as article.ml.po files.)
