Hi all,

I've started to work on the language bundles again, and I'm still stuck
with the license conversion. Although having made several improvements and
adaptions to the license categorization and conversion tool available at
https://github.com/apache/netbeans-tools/tree/master/convert, it still
outputs about these numbers
"cddl, unrecognized file: 1324
no cddl license: 33876"
The problems are corrupted files, typos, old Sun licenses not converted for
Oracle, or missing license headers. Some bundles contain more corrupted
files, other less.

Before continuing this work, it would be good to know if users really need
all potentially available locales. There are 25 locales left, after having
already deleted some of them which were originally present in the donated
zip. I've removed those bundles where I could determine by myself that no
work had been done on them except starting a localisation project by
copying the default. (For example, the Bundle ta (Tamil) did not contain a
single Tamil character, so I removed it). However, there are, for example,
bundles for ca (Catalan) or gl_ES (galician) which require a lot of work
and I think we should determine the demand for before tackling it. Also, I
can't easily check the implementation status of these languages.

How could we start a vote?

Can I get permissions to start a page in Confluence on the status of this
conversion, listing among others the donated language bundles?

Boris
