Translation has been asmodai's baby, and I am content to let him run it as he sees fit. Not to say that other people's options don't matter, but he put the time in and knows how things have been working. Thats more than enough reason to leave things as is to me. FOSS isn't always a democracy.

Normally I would agree, but this case wasn't so much a decision as a lack thereof. asmodai and I were trying to argue that we just leave things exactly as they are now, and as they have been for the entire lifetime of the i18n branch. Seems to be working fine so far. The only counter-argument I have heard is that having large commits generates noise. I am not entirely sure why you can't just skip over that commit in the timeline, no one is being forced to read every line of every diff. As I said before, I think it was self-serving to bring this up again, and would rather leave things in the capable hands of asmodai, to run as he thinks is most effective. --Noah --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Development" group.
