However, before doing that for Danish, Joe, could you
explain *why* this is desired for Danish?
no don't think that it is a good idea to get into a long discussion
about this. I'm sure I now the status after such a discussion. And a
lot of the argument has already been made on the discussions list
(Debians and for that matter other translation mailing lists, at
least the Danish list. This issue is not limited to Debian).
and then again I can make one argument (but the argument is not made
in order to change your opinion as there is arguments for having
limitations on the translations, and my opinion about Danish and
other languages could change if certain conditions occurred; spam,
vandalism, very low quality etc.).
Danish has here http://ddtp.debian.net/ddtss/index.cgi/da 22 pending
reviews. Those reviews would have been proofread and integrated
today, if this change had not occurred. It IS difficult to tell the
future, but I'm quiet convinced that this step would mean that
Danish once again would go into a standstill. The last 6 months we
have roughly gone from 1.200 active translations to 4.000 (with high
quality (my opinion of course)). So again in my opinion I think it
would be a shame to throw that away.
