Hey, Lydia and I have spoken and this is what we have concluded re. translation and Tech News.
* Translation; I am going to make future summaries up until the end of July translatable. For the first August one; Lydia and I will come to a final conclusion as well as asking the community whether marking the summaries as translatable is still worth it. If we get 1 translator a week until July we will probably not continue unless we get a varying range if languages coming. Basically, if the community translate it, I'll continue to make it translatable. * Tech News: this is interesting. Lydia said she does not mind putting a development paragraph on Tech News but it will not replace the summary's development update section as she feels having development and communities updates in one represents the development team's feeling that the communities should also be kept in the loop of the teams development actively as this summary provides. So, I am going to finish off the summary shortly and will send the usual email and onwiki notifications with the note that the summaries are going to be translatable. See you all shortly then.
