* letting translators translate, unless the developers want to translate their program into 45 languages. * letting documentation writers write documentation, unless the developers want to do it. There are *many* advantages to a stable release cycle, and a number of those reasons have to do with the fact that the programmers are not the only people producing what we ship. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
