Hi John, Thank you for the quick reply and answers to my email.
It all sounds very exciting and it is about time that we have the public SVN repository. I am sure that it is of interest not only to Wikia and its employees, but also to its developers and translators — finally a great way to get extension messages translated to many languages (including some obscure ones you've never heard of ;-) Also, who are the techs supporting the SVN project in addition to Artur? And which techs can we poke in case of problems/questions? What is the approximated ETA for public SVN, is it this weekend? I am very pleased that public bug tracker is likewise being worked on. After all, the lack of a public bug tracker is one of the things end-users dislike about Microsoft, despite the fact that Microsoft's operating systems are very popular. It is no wonder why Mozilla's Firefox and other software are gaining more and more users, day by day; they have open bugtracking and quite different support from the one that Microsoft offers to their customers. Are we going to use Inside Wikia (http://inside.wikia.com) as a place to discuss the public SVN and other related topics? After all, Inside Wikia was supposed to be a communication gateway between users and Wikia's techs, but it has been relatively quiet over the last few months. Another thing I would like to mention, is you have made several promises in the past about the public SVN, but you have always fallen through on them. For instance, at one time you said it would be opened "next Friday", that was several weeks ago, and many Fridays have passed since. How about setting a definite deadline, instead of just, "soon" or "next Friday"? I am looking forward to hearing more about the SVN and the upcoming announcement that you mentioned would be taking place within the coming week. Keep up the hard work, guys!
