Sergey, The update is really massive. I do not mean to be disrespectful, but why did this happen?
Since I am also the coordinator of Bulgarian at the Translation project, I have kept a close eye on your module. As you can see from: http://translationproject.org/domain/xkeyboard-config.html I have translated 100% of 2.1-pre1's 769 strings. When I updated to 2.1.99, the stats are: 362 translated (47%) 426 fuzzy (55%) 145 untanslated (19%) 141 obsolete (18%) Percents are relative to 2.1-pre1's strings This is really a *huge* change for a in-version transition and you give out quite a short notice. I thought that I had made proper planning for your module because it is visible and important part of the configuration of the graphical interface. GNOME 3.0 is a hard target for us, I do not know if my team will make it to 100%. Still we do have a second chance as there will be a subsequent release of 3.0.1 about a month later, distros will actually ship it or extremely quickly migrate to it. xkeyboard-config has 3 releases a year as this page states: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig/ReleaseSchedule If we miss 4 April (and this is likely), will you do an interim point release? Furthermore, the same page promises a two week string freeze period. The TP robot mailed me today, this corresponds to 9 of April, not 4. And lastly - your project is definitely not new. On the contrary, it is well established, with FD.O history going back to 2007, and GNOME history before that (and I know because I have been translating this project for almost a decade as seen from the bg.po headers). Please think of some kind of message string stability - you *do* have the experience for that. Again - no disrespect for your project which I use every day, but please consider translators' tribulations as well.
