So there were 3 string questions in question, I responded at the time saying two of the string changes were just accelerator additions (buttons that didn't have accelerators) and could be reverted at your discretion (we could dig up the bug numbers, but they boil down to "button X has no accelerator). When we looked at reverting these on our own just before 2.0.1, we saw some translators had already translated the strings and left them alone (also knowing that 2.0.2 would be our release for GNOME 2.8.1 anyhow). The other change, re-using a string (64974) we should have followed up on, it just got missed but we'll sort it for 2.0.2. > I realize it's the first time around for the Evolution hackers to have > to play by the GNOME D&DP freezes, but I'm still confident that the > situation and freeze obeyance will improve. Right? I'm not sure what needs improving, after this time we've submitted all string changing patches for approval to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as far as I know (we didn't before because we didn't know we needed to as explained in my email at the time).
