Apart from the below, we still need: - More complete translations. 1145 introduces a few new strings, but apparently we have a complete translation thanks to ph00 and Singularity. Lots of translations have been started and then stopped, and if you can do a new language in time (i.e. by Wednesday), that'd be great. - More seednodes. If you have a node with reasonable upstream bandwidth and which is not NATed, please turn on the seednode option, and send us your opennet noderef.
