The problem as I see it is that things such as the potfiles problem don't get caught till after we announce the string freeze, as they are typically caught by a translator. Ethan and I have been discussing implementing a way to grant you all commit access to just the po/ directory. There are still some issues we need to solve before that is possible though. That should reduce both the turn-around time and at least some of the complexity issues involved with submitting a translation. luke _______________________________________________ Translators mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/translators
