Some general questions about Trisquel

Hello,
I've heard about Trisquel GNU/Linux and saw some screenshots and got interested in it. So far it seems nice, but I've got some questions:
1) are there any native German speakers translating the website? I'd say there isn't since the poor translation.
2) how big is the Trisquel team? I've searched the internet to find out when a new version of Trisquel is released and I saw that Trisquel 7 will be supported until 2019!!!
3) since I'm currently running Debian GNU/Linux 7, I only have GNOME 3.2. There is no "Fallback" desktop like Trisquel GNU/Linux is using. So I'd like to know, is this the upstream Fallback mode?
4) I wanted to read http://trisquel.info/en/trisquel-70-lts-belenos but I can't. It tries to redirect me to the localized site, but there's no appropriate news available.
Thanks and best regards.

Sorry, forgot to mention before posting:
5) is the team, or at least some of the Trisquel team actively reading this forum or are they rather using the mailing list?
3) I think this is Gnome-session-fallback clone. Technically in new distros; Fallback mode is avaliable like a Gnome-Shell Mod
4) No German language in this news; what do you want to know?

Thanks.
4) I just wanted a list of what has changed. I hoped I find some answers on my GNOME question.
What Trisquel uses by default is now called "Flashback", not "Fallback" (as of GNOME 3.8, I think).
Support duration really has nothing to do with the size of the Trisquel team; keep in mind that Trisquel is based on Ubuntu and benefits from all the work done by Canonical on Ubuntu. Trisquel releases are supported for the same amount of time as the Ubuntu releases they're based on.

Sorry, I always confuse those names. Of course I meant Flashback.
OK that's an argument.
Thanks for your answer.
I speak French and learnt German at school and by visiting Switzerland (even if they speak Swiss German).
I don't understand why all threads in German-speaking section are locked. I hope there will be more German-speaking people discovering, learning and using Triquel, and not forced to speak English. Let's speak several languages for talking about Trisquel. The forum is active in Spanish and in French, why not in German ?
I am not a developer, just a simple user.

You're probably right but the english section is more active. I'd ask and answer in the German section as well, but for now I will probably get more responses here. :-)
I'm also german and recognized that there is no activity in the german-speaking forum whatsoever.
Don't really know why, but I sure hope that this will change!
However, i guess there are two or more experienced users keeping track of the german forum, so very likely you will get an answer if asking there - at least for not-so-specific questions.
I believe threads get automatically locked when they get old enough. Not sure if this is a useful feature.
I don't notice the same thing for threads in others sections.
I think every thread must stay unlocked by default.
It takes quite a long time. The stream of threads locked due to age on the English forum seems to start at page 30. These are posts from about half a year ago -- consistent with what you can see on the German forum.
Ah ! okay ! it just takes telling German-speaking people to come here (in the German-speaking section) to ask questions about Trisquel.
Yes, don't hesitate to visit the different sections of the forum (if you speak also French and Spanish, or want to learn these two languages ;) ).
If you know some other German-speaking people who want to discover Trisquel, if they can come here, I don't mind. ;)
Oh ! I just saw now : there is even a Romanian-speaking section !

I found most answers I needed.
1) I found the Team website. There are obviously German translators (or at least one). He is probably not translating the webpage, perhaps I can help out there.
2) ---> Team wiki page: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-team
3) Answered in this thread.
4) I switched my language (why didn't I try that first...? grml...). A translation would be appreciated.
5) At least Qidam was answering in the last few days on other threads. :) I good sign.
If you can translate to German, it will be good for all German-speaking people who want to learn how to use Trisquel, and who want to discuss in the German-speaking section of the forum.

I have another question: is it possible to switch back to the GNOME Shell?
Install the gnome-session and gnome-shell packages, then choose "GNOME" as your session when logging in. For a better experience, also install GDM and make it the default display manager (GDM integrates with the lock screen option in GNOME Shell, and it being your display manager makes the "lock screen" button show up in the status menu).

Thanks, I'll try it. The default DM isn's GDM? I thought it is.
