So what are your criteria for "not under active development"? That is a judgement call. My personal criteria is "not packed in mayor distributions". Maybe they are and the packages are there for good reason (like, "no free software ever really dies"), but for translators it is difficult to distinguish between "new and hot" and "slowly dying" in extras section. ___ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
