I think that the translation project (which does work with po files) is a reasonable place and that we should point people who want to help with translations to them. We certainly should avoid submitting to two organizations, and PO-support is essential. > * In gnunet-gtk/pixmaps/icons, there is a script called > icon-theme-installer that should process the 5 icons placed there and > install them to standard system icon dirs.

I think I got it to work, but I'm not sure how to validate (the script runs). Have a look at SVN 6291.

Well, in general, "when it is ready" ;-). I usually ask opinions of people hanging out on #gnunet about their opinion on how release-ready we are. > This is important because else the network will be partly broken for the > next 6 month.

Certainly this is some good incentive to try.
