(Please let us know if you can think of other ways to achieve anonymity while volunteering for the project.)

Pretty much everything you do via Launchpad.net is publicly visible (all activities, messages, probably some or most of your email address). This is because Launchpad.net is designed for free software projects rather than rights advocacy groups.

==> If you are in a situation where, if you volunteer for the project, your safety may be jeopardized, do NOT interact with Launchpad.net using your own email address and/or name. <==

Both RiseUp and A/I provide email services. (RiseUp: https://mail.riseup.net/rc/ ; A/I: http://www.autistici.org/en/services/mail.html ). You may request an email address with one of them, while paying special attention not to use personal identifying information in your email username and so on. You may then use that email address to register with Launchpad.net, again paying special attention not to use personally identifying information on Launchpad.

If this is not acceptable / feasible, send a message to the email address provided at https://launchpad.net/lgbtinewsturkey or at http://lgbtinewsturkey.com/about and ask for a contact person who can deal with Launchpad.net on your behalf (e.g. add comments to bugs a.k.a translation / editing /publishing requests, change bug statuses, notify teams, and so on). You will need to closely follow our bug / translation tracker at https://bugs.launchpad.net/lgbtinewsturkey yourself.

At the very least, the volunteer coordinators will want to get to know you if you would like to contribute consistently to our efforts.

If we succeed in continuing to use etherpad (available at https://pad.riseup.net or https://5jp7xtmox6jyoqd5.onion/ ), and if you keep track of the project's bug tracker (at https://bugs.launchpad.net/lgbtinewsturkey ), with some luck, you should be able to contribute without providing your name or other identifying information to anyone. Please also check our FAQs at https://answers.launchpad.net/lgbtinewsturkey/+faqs for our translation and editing guidelines.
