[IAEP] [SLOBS] [SLOB] Yoruba i18n motion

[José Miguel García]

+1 para Yoruba i18n motion

Sugiero que para futuras propuestas se especifique el impacto que tendrá en
la comunidad. Es decir, cuáles y cuántos serán los beneficiarios de la
traducción, y si esto ampliará significativamente el alcance de Sugar.

Saludos
