I was like "ooh, yay, someone's doing this!" and then I read more and was like "wow, are we really talking about all of this stuff? so confusing and pointless. =[" You don't need to come up with complicated names, especially not yet. :-) Just work on writing it and fixing issues, and then we can think of coming up with a name that's straightforward and useful. -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023 ___ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette

You're right, this file should not be created any more, and doing so will cause mail to be lost (actually, bounced, I hope). I've fixed mkuser to no longer create it and removed the bad file from recently created accounts.

It's almost as though you're encouraging bikeshedding.[1] I imagine most developers don't give a damn what you call it as long as it works well. I'm certainly in that category. There are a lot of obstacles to overcome in order to develop a decent, working translation tool. The focus of any discussion should be on those actual, real obstacles, not on naming. :-) MZMcBride [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson's_Law_of_Triviality ___ Toolserver-l mailing list (Toolserver-l@lists.wikimedia.org) https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/toolserver-l Posting guidelines for this list: https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Mailing_list_etiquette
