the thread wasn't suggesting pyjamas cannot be more, but rather realizing that GWT represents 95% of the codebase, and pyjamas is a *derivative*. The idea was to keep the raw translation separate from pyjamas enhancements or additions -- how will you know where things came from it comes time (overdue) to update the GWT baseline? Everything is dumped into the same namespace, and thus risks being accidentally removed or modified, and makes it difficult for the people translating to monitor progress, etc etc ... It just makes life harder for everyone in my mind. Once a single external modification is done to an automated translation, even if some must be done manually (more likely scripted), it cannot safely be ran again. -- C Anthony
