We already have processes in place to review documentation. We just don't have enough people doing it. If people want to review the language usage in the documentation, I'd rather they do it as part of a real documentation review, rather than as part of a disjointed string review. The point of using the documentation team above isn't to do string reviews of documentation. Rather, it's to make use of the team to do the reviews, since their skills should be very helpful. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
