That can be done, but then <address@hidden> should be 
allowed to post to that list, without receiving any mail.

However, such notifications may not be needed any more: since about 
ten days the TP offers rsync access to its files.  So if the 
following command were made part of the 'make dist' target, you 
won't have to remember fetching PO files ever again:

  rsync  -Lrtvz  translationproject.org::tp/latest/nano/  po

This will additionally require a little script to create the LINGUAS 
file from the available po files, but that should be doable.

Okay, I've added them to the TP archives.
(See http://translationproject.org/domain/nano.html or 
http://translationproject.org/latest/nano/ .)

It wouldn't have hurt to announce it to the Czech and Finnish team 
leaders, but I'm not doing this either when removing 'external' 
marks for other packages, so...
