A vista do email do Tristan, podese entender que o camiño hacia o Firefox 3 en galego está a noso alcance. Deberá nomearse un interlocutor válido e que teña continuidade no tempo. Respecto a rectificación nos medios, eu propoño se faga unha nota de prensa a publicar nos mésmos medios onde aparecéran os comentarios de Nitot, onde se recollan de forma "obxectiva" os feitos (falla de información actualizada) e a total dispoñibilidade de Mozilla Foundation a recoñecer e soportar a versión galega como unha versión mais. Esta nota de prensa debería recoller algunha das frases incluidas no email de Tristan e debería ter tamén o seu prace (mancomun podería encargarse de facer a nota).
Polo demais, PARABENS!! a todos pola rápida reacción e, especialmente a Suso que foi quen de "sensibilizar" ao Tristan.
