Hi again, For Lewis, I'll give the +1. Just one comment, though:

However, I'd like to see a cleanup of unnecessary family files - now we have got generate_family_file.py, I think a lot of files are no longer necessary. and > working on the i18n translation that I hear you guys are planning to > work on rather soon.

The access request is from this person: > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Ebraminio > Any objections to granting access for this person? > > https://sourceforge.net/users/ebraminio The translation patches are OK, but this one most certainly is not: this patch<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/download.php?group_id=93107&atid=603138&file_id=395844&aid=3135010> changes the license from GPL to MIT (!) without checking with the original author(s). Besides, there is no comment on what this actual change does ('hi, this a patch for providing support of links contains unicode character.I am used it and working well for me.') only decribes the end effect, not the reason it works. Especially when working with Unicode<->utf-8 translations, this is important - the current code looks like "We'll sprinkle some encode and decodes around and problems will magically be solved". I haven't seen Ebraminio on the mailing list or IRC either - so no +1 for Ebraminio from me - at least: not yet. Thanks, Merlijn <https://sourceforge.net/users/ebraminio>
