Nadim,
I think they should be kept. -It's historical evidence, right in Arabeyes CVS servers, of the work done by arabeyes to localise OSS projects. The issue of keeping the files goes beyond the mere need of their existence on some cvs servers be it ours or the mothership's. It's respecful gesture to the translators. -Unless really tight on space, I don't think it is an issue, text packs really well, I have FF 2.0, Gnome and the Technical dictionary and that's all a mere 25MB.

There isn't a policy per-se but that has been the practice of previous project coordinators and maintainers (those of you reading this, do please speak up). The point that was made was that once the data is uploaded to the mothership there really isn't a need to keep the old data around (post patching-in the new HEAD files of course). Keep in mind that the old files should be available on the mothership's repository on a per release basis (check KDE's or Gnome's repositories) which further notes the lack of necessity on our part to keep those submitted files around. We're not hurting for disk space just yet but if every project started keeping its old files we will rather soon. Salam. - Nadim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
