I think I'll throw my $0.02 in. I regard this as quite an annoying
problem. The facts that
* every LanguageXx update requires a developer's action
* developers are generally very busy
* we have no developer on cs:
mean that "our" LanguageCs.php file in CVS is really outdated. I try
to regularly update/correct LanguageCs.php on meta, but this has no
effect (and [[meta:Requests for languageXX.php update]] is marked as
deprecated).
So I was thinking -- would it be possible to give a person some kind
of "language-maintainer", ("limited-developer") privileges? All that
would be required is write-access to the language subdirectories in
CVS and the language-specific wiki(es) or even only to the specific
LanguageXx.php and maybe some kind of possibility to reinitialize the
MediaWiki namespace (maybe through a little bit tweaked
rebuildMessages.php).
Any ideas, opinions, ...?
