I agree. I think their work is splendid too. I’m glad to hear you share that view. Thank you both, but... The devil is in the details. Some details that are really, really relevant to this discussion. First, credit: This particular Collation work was almost completely done by Brian Wolff and not by the Language team (brilliant work; thank you, Brian). I only helped a little bit with code review and deployment. Even more importantly, this work was not on the roadmap for either of us as WMF staffers. We did as a pet project. So while I'm happy that people have noticed this work and found it useful, it must be remembered that it was executed despite the Foundation's planning, not thanks to it. In all the planning discussions I am repeating that that much more resources need to go to to our software internationalization infrastructure, but it's not really happening. It's quite wrong that much of the Web's most multilingual site's internationalization infrastructure is done so slowly and in pet projects. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
