O.K. - I think that I will try to convert most of the phrases to sentences
by simply adding a punctuation mark at the end. Unless some of the other
English speakers disagree.

I didn't remember this Stefan. The logic for using "project" instead of
"task" does make sense to me. I'll stick with that convention.

O.K. - I'll change it in the English properties file. Should we change it in
the main properties file?
Thank you for your patience with my translation efforts.

mhm.. good question..
what is proper english. In some lagunage like german there is not such a
questions since subjects are always in uppercase letters, while nouns
are always lower case - thus grammar prohibits doing it as you want.
So for english - the english speaking people should decide that.

Maybe your remember very darkly that we decided to switch from "Task" to
"Project" like 1.5 years ago. Since project is rather common than task -
e.g. nearly also languages have the word Project, while Task would at
least in german sound a bit strange.
