--- Comment #1 from Tim Starling <[email protected]> 2009-07-23 07:24:17 UTC --- Just for the record: the reason translation updates are restricted to vote admins is because the security of the system depends on it. This was especially true of the license transition vote, where a translator could have switched the translations for two of the options, and if the language was sufficiently rare and different from English, nobody would have noticed. Practically, a community translation means that untrusted people will have to edit the translations on a wiki, but there needs to be the opportunity for admins to implement a review cycle, otherwise the security is a joke. The scheme you suggest is fine as long as the admins can choose the time at which the dump is made. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
