I'm FD and know how many translators have spoken about becoming a developer in relevant places - either by actually applying, mailing the FD or speaking about it on the respective mailing lists. The number is quite small (about 4 people, depending what you count as "interest in an account"), while we had more than 134 people who applied in the last year in total, with *no* translator or documentation NMs under them. > If so, that alone should ring the alarm bells, as packaging alone > doesn't seem like 95% of the work that we're struggling to get done. I don't know, but I know that a lot of work done for website maintainance, translation management and documentation is done by people who are also package maintainers. People doing non-packaging exclusively are quite unusual. Marc -- BOFH #169: broadcast packets on wrong frequency
