 Thanks for those numbers, Steve!  Not much of a surprise, I considered
a lot of the reasons brought forward marketing blabla. :)

 Still supportive of git switch, but we need to find a solution to allow
translators to contribute without full checkouts.  Is there any free
software git hosting project that offers web edit like github does?
What happened to gitorious, does the gitlab community edition offer
that?  Doesn't seem so - anyone knows of something that offers that?

 So long,
Rhonda
