Some removed the ChangeLog file all together. I don't mind either way, but it would be nice if we had some consistency and enforced one way or another for all modules, as was done with LINGUAS. 2) A while back there was the wonderful effort to enforce LINGUAS files: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/PoLinguas I think it is time a similar file is introduced for help files - for the same reasons. Any comments? Just out of curiosity: do you really want Changelogs? What value does changelogs give over the version control history?

Claude, what do think about moving the proposals forwards to see what developers think of them? Regarding the first proposal (ChangeLogs), I would wait, because that will also depend on the DVCS choice that is currently being considered. It seems to me that the ChangeLog policy might be related to the DVCS tool. But you might ask developers to stick with traditional ChangeLogs as long as we use SVN, at least for po directories. The second proposal would be a nice-to-have, but IMHO the Makefile.am for documentations is usually very short, hence minimizing the advantage of a separate LINGUAS file. Moreover, when we'll automate the commits with a Transifex-like functionality, these issues will fade somewhat.
