> Sorry, what I meant was "before the merge into testing [= freeze]". Merged into devel, then. This does not prevent us from merging the branch again before the freeze if it's improved until then. About "adding more languages": I don't know how we would pick a few more languages among all possible ones. I'd rather see us spend time obsoleting this problem (== prepare and release tails-greeter) than solving it. >>> What about just merging it and consider it as a tech review?

I think you missed the "who am I talking to" part. That wiki page is 5 pages long. It has no TOC. The "Next things to do" section reads that single sentence: "Look at what Windows XP, Vista and Seven look like and research suitable themes." A few paragraphs later, a "Plan for integration" section explains much was done already, and lists other things that remain to be done. When the reader arrives at this point, s/he has already read three full pages without a chance to understand what's the actual thing that's happening and what may need to be discussed further. The task is is todo/research state. Well... I've personally followed most of the process because you kept me in touch over private email; even so, I have to re-read that *entire* long wiki page to refresh my memories, including many implementation details I don't care about, because there's no other way I can quickly get what's the point, what's currently blocking, what may need to be discussed. This very mailing-list is being asked to make some sort of collective decision about this topic. I think the way it was asked is such we can be almost sure nobody but you and I will provide any feedback, because the bar is put way too high for others to participate. Even I find it painful. These are the reasons why I wrote I find it hard to decide anything, see?
