Hi :) Ahh, having pictures held on Alfresco would be fantastic!  I think it show pictures as thumbnails on some systems so it would make it much easier to quickly check which pictures look inconsistent (or wrong if that ever happens now that rebranding is pretty much over).  A management

Hi :) I think it's not that urgent.  The original still just about works and GnuLinux users tend to be comfortable with things developing faster than even wiki's can keep-up with.  With a bit of luck someone might update the wiki but there is no reason that needs to be you.  Wikis tend to be

Hi :) Is anyone using a Mac and able to quickly check that Urdu language works?  There is no point in getting bogged down in it (on this list) but if it's easy then it would be nice to know.  I might try to ask the Urdu localisation team as they are likely to know more about issues already.
