I have an admin on the Shona Translators page for the past 5 years and the project has failed to gain traction for a lot of reasons - some mentioned in the article and the comments. We do need a regulatory body but what is important now is to get the ball running - semantics or mistakes can always be taken care of later on.
@92f7f0bad2de4a040c9be32f8fc8e3e7:disqus drop me a mail (Limbikani has my details) - I will add you to the admin group and we can crank this thing up.
