[Foundation-l] Board elections: Statistics

Sun Jun 8 11:04:36 UTC 2008

Hoi,
When you localise in Betawiki, you are provided with messages in English
that provide you the context of the message. When you localise outside
Betawiki such help is not available. I would argue that you should localise
in Betawiki because it helps you with the context. When these messages are
missing, it is only because nobody bothered to add them.

When you have suggestions to make Betawiki even better, we do welcome them.

What we are looking for is more people that contribute to the localisation
process, certainly for a big language like Japanese it should be possible
not only to do the initial localisation but also to do the proof reading and
improve the available localisations.

One question, when you found the localisation lacking, you do know how this
can be remedied, don't you !?!
Thanks,
      GerardM
