Re: Intent to NMU twiki to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs

Olivier is also working on a change that I think will impact on the strings.
I currently don't have time to do any serious work on the package (as
the serious work is really to move to TWiki 4.2.x, but I am working
slowly towards it)
I'm happy to have the changes NMU'd as I'm not a debian developer, and
thus if I do it, there will be the added delays related to getting a DD.
