Proposal: Let @RichardLitt Join i18n committee

[RichardLitt]

After a few months away from collaborating Node, I am starting to miss the work.

Why Richard

I'm currently writing a thesis on resources for endangered languages - see this repo - and I am interested in seeing if being a more active member of this group could help inform my own work, and if I can give back. I have an MA in Linguistics and am one thesis away from an MSc in Computational Linguistics. While I speak only English fluently, I can talk conversationally in seven other languages, and maintain several projects with translations. I wrote the dictionary for Na'vi from the movie avatar, and oversaw a community of five thousand learners and over a dozen different translations of the dictionary.

On the Node side: I am a core contributor, have been around for around half a decade, have hosted NodeSchools in several countries (often the first in that city), have been a member of the Community Committee in the past, and I run an open source company based in a large part on my experiences in node.

What's next?

What do you need from me for this to move forward.
