Hi Caolan,
... and the other gigantic elephant is officecfg. Both projects scale
linearly with the number of enabled languages - ouch. Of course, most
developers (old hands or new ones alike) will probably build only one or
two languages, if they are not involved in localization issues, so the
elephant might not look that big as an entrance barrier. For everyone
who has the need to build more languages these two projects are just a
<choose your expletive>, of course.

With all the build times talk going around, no one seems to have
mentioned the obvious gigantic elephant in the room (for extern devs
anyway), i.e. building helpcontent2 takes a huge amount of time.
i.e. when building for 61 languages (and approx 42 of them with help
content) with build -P2 -- -P2 on a RedHat buildbox (through gcj) my
times for the full build...
build start time is Mon Aug 28 06:44:07
build end time is Mon Aug 28 12:00:23
and while I don't have times to hand for just helpcontent2 on it's own
to get the percentage of total time involved, from experience
HelpLinking takes an awesome amount of time.
