Description

Hi everyone,

I was looking to contribute to the Greek translation of the JavaScript Tutorial (el.javascript.info), but I noticed that the repository has been inactive for several years.

More importantly, the current master branch appears to be broken, as there are unresolved git merge conflicts (like <<<<<<< HEAD) committed directly into live article files (e.g., in 1-js/01-getting-started/2-manual-specifications/article.md). Furthermore, many existing core translations are heavily machine-translated and need manual rewriting to meet proper technical engineering standards.

I am a full-stack developer and I would love to step up, take ownership of the Greek locale, clean up the broken master branch, and actively maintain/approve future PRs for the Greek community.

Could a core maintainer please review the state of javascript-tutorial/el.javascript.info and grant me the necessary contributor/maintainer access to revive this localization project?

Thank you for your time and for this amazing resource!

Research direction

Start by inspecting the javascript-tutorial/el.javascript.info repository, especially 1-js/01-getting-started/2-manual-specifications/article.md, to confirm the committed merge conflicts and assess the translation state. Review the scope of the Greek localization cleanup and the project’s process for contributor or maintainer access. Done would mean the branch is usable, affected translations are manually revised, and maintainers have reviewed the proposed ownership.
