To avoid confusion mainly. Also, asking people to translate project glucose 8.2 instead of project glucose 8.2 + activities x,y,z becomes a bit easier for me. However, from next time, I definitely plan on bugging activity authors more for branching :-) Cheers, Sayamindu -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
