Help Wanted

I'm looking for help in the following areas:

  • Translators! If PyScrabble isn't translated into your native language, lets work together to make it happen.
  • Public Servers. Redundancy is good. If you can host a public server, please let me know.

If you think you'd be able to help out, please let me know!
