I don't know anything about Pootle, but maybe we should give this a try. The next step if we want to continue with this would be to make standard "release notes" areas in the for the web sites -- English and native lang. Juergen actually suggested something like this over a year ago but we never got to it. Then we can figure out how to get the translations where they need to go -- some scripting magic, no doubt. Good suggestion and "proof of concept" testing I must say! :) > ------------------------------**------------------------------**--------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > dev-unsubscribe@openoffice.**apache.org<dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org> > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius." -- Kim Cattrall
