Hi Claude, Thank you for stepping in. I completely understand every little bit of what you said. And though I don't complete agree about svn account not being a reward for good work, I can obviously respect the decision. The issue was that I did not receive any feedback during this whole process. And since both Guilherme and Lucas Rocha told me before we released 2.18 that I would be considered for the account, I was expecting something.. at least a note. For the last 12 months the major bulk (approx. 95%) of commits has been handled by one person: Leonardo Fontenelle. The other 5% was handled by Raphael Higino, who unfortunately passed away just recently. :/ During the last weeks before 2.20 we had the help of Jonh Wendell who helped tremendously with the last push. My request for an account is based on the fact that, with only Leonardo doing this job and his recent comment that he has plans to take on more personal matters and therefore not have the same amount of time available for the triaging/commit process, we will be extremely shorthanded! But anyhow, though I would be extremely disappointed if my request is denied for the second time, I basically expected a whole lot more consideration and at least a note explaining the reasoning behind it. So I kindly ask that the other Brazilian translators, including Leonardo, comment of the issue and if they think we have enought knowleageable people to do the work? Since we've been working together for the last 12 months and have first hand insight into the current situation, I think their feedback is valuable to attest if the decision has any merit or not. Is that ok Claude? > I hope you'll understand this, and I'm sure your contributions will > always be much appreciated in the FOSS community. Keep the good work! Thank you for the kind words... right now all I can say is that I have always done my work placing the end user above anything or anyone. However, not having my request for a svn account doesn't quite show me any appreciation from the administration of the team... Hopefully the final word hasn't been said yet about this issue. Which gives me more time to ponder my future as a translator for the GNOME project. Cheers, -- Og B.
