I would like to be clear. I do not propose, and have never proposed, to throw
away the work of translators.
What I am saying is that if there is no way to automatically convert from WML
to whichever format makes a consensus, then I am willing to do the work by hand
for the pages under /devel/debian-med. And this for the translations as well,
if we do not change our current strategy. (If we switch to PO catalogs, I may
not be able to transfer the contents, at least without proofreading).

I like git a lot as well. Is there a roadmap somewhere, a list of problems to
solve or a sandbox in which making tests, and what is the plan to answer to the
valid objections of the contributors who will lose the ability to do partial
commits ?
Lastly, but not so importantly,

I would like to tell, without starting a long discussion, that I feel offended
by the way you express your objection by attributing bad motivations to me.
Breaking things is not my intention.
Have a nice day,
