Hi :) I liked the announcement so please don't stop doing them! Even though i didn't understand it this time i will have a better understanding of it next time.
Now i have another question though! If you know something specific has had no new strings between 1 branch and the next could it be brought forwards to the new branch en-masse in the same way? Even if it was incomplete last time? Within a branch makes a LOT of sense and it's a huge relief to hear that is being done already! :) Thanks and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Petr Mladek <[email protected]> >To: Tom Davies <[email protected]> >Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]>; Andras Timar ><[email protected]> >Sent: Wednesday, 20 February 2013, 12:16 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-l10n] [ANNOUNCE] Branch libreoffice-4-0-1 created > >Hi Tom, > >good question.
