Hoi,
I am happy to have an additional problem with the current status quo. Happy
because I have a solution as well.
As a consequence of the temporary halt of software going life, the
localisations have been waiting to go life for the same amount of time and
we at
translatewiki.net <http://translatewiki.net>regularly get the
question, when are we going to see the fruit of our labour. We even find
people not returning to
translatewiki.net because of the gap in time that
currently exists.
To alleviate this problem, I have asked Tom Maaswinkel to write an
extension, LocalisationUpdate, that will import the messages in a wiki. The
process has been discussed with Brion and Siebrand, I have been testing it
for some time now and it will definetlt benefit the quality of our
localisation and the quantity of our localisation when it is implemented on
all the Wikimedia Foundation projects.
I would really love to have this code reviewed as soon as possible and
implemented as soon as feasible.
Thanks,
GerardM

There aren't two different policies. When
enabling a new extension,
the latest version from SVN is installed (provided it has passed
review), and extensions are updated together with the core MediaWiki
code. Once upon a time, we had sort-of-weekly code updates, but right
now Wikipedia is running code dated March 25th.
We're planning to hire a full-time QA engineer in 09-10 to help with
code review, bug triaging and deployment - that should help get us
back to a more reasonable schedule.
