Huge +1 here. This is an LTS release and I'm not sure this is the best time to take upon this major overhaul given the amount of time involved and the uncertainty about translations. Translations are very important, particularly in an LTS, and we do a great disservice to our translations volunteers if we do this without a plan for them, or otherwise abruptly change things for them. How ever we do this, it's likely that all strings will be shown as modified and they'll have to begin translations from scratch rather than just updating changed strings. I'd feel much better doing this for 14.10, when it's a bit less important to have a solid, translated documentation for release. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
