You mean the one that says 3. A sort of string freeze is put in place, so that the translators can have a period of time where they can work on the translations without having to duplicate work. without explaining how this will be enforced? This certainly piques my curiosity: how ARE you going to enforce a string freeze, when everywhere else you've de-emphasized maintainer/translator collaboration to the point that you won't know that a string has changed until the package has been uploaded? -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
