a detour before I forget: would it be possible to change the list settings so that replies go to the list instead of the posting individual?

The two versions are expected to co-exist for a long while. And, I suppose, v3 will remain either CVS-only or, if available for direct download, clearly marked as unstable development version.

This seems to imply that the only way to see easy localization within the existing WixUI framework is to allow the command line changes. As I consider the first item much more important than the second oneboth for me (I still use my own UIsample based installers because I already have them translated to Hungarian but, as soon as WixUI offers the same functionality as my own version*, I'll be happy to change) and for newcomers)I would consider this more than enough reason to allow the breaking change. But let's go back to the -loc switch for a minute. I have to ask because I don't know the internal details and it's easier to ask you than to start to find out for myself. Yes, v3 will have the strings embedded but overridable. But is there something that would make it impossible to equip the linker with a default mechanism? If it can't resolve a string and it has no -loc file specified by the user, it would first include a -loc English.wxl itself and try to resolve again. If it fails, it gives an error message. If the user has specified a -loc, it wouldn't try to include English.wxl itself. Is this impossible within the current way of doing things? Or even simpler? At the end of the command line parsing routine, if no -loc was specified, to sneak in a -loc English.wxl by default? * I use the complete UIsample stuff, with the administrative dialogs included. As far as I can tell from the source, those are not yet in WixUI. These, plus the localization (which I'm willing to contribute for my language, of course) is what I'd expect. What's the roadmap? Is this to be expected as things are now or are helping hands required to reach this level?
