There no such thing as a *fairly* standard method. Killing the Queen is a fairly standard method to gain political power, nevertheless people do use elections. So pls do not invent your *own* standards, no matter how fair you rate them. Standards are already there, and developers are fondly welcome in following them. I know we all work for free, but this is not a reason to waste other people time (i.e. money).
I think somewhere the thread detached itself into another section, and something I wrote was misinterpreted.
I'm not saying you can't use Betawiki; far from it; you choose however you like to organise translations, at your own will. I can't *force* people to provide translations, and I can't *force* people to use one method or another for doing something. "Standard" referred to how the translations end up being patched into the extension; it's extremely simple and not totally dissimilar to how many other extensions are done. The only differences are there for (in my opinion) extra sanity and efficiency, and more importantly (to me) backwards compatibility.
If Nikerabbit would like to add these things to the arsenal of stuff he generously provides at Betawiki, so that they may be collaboratively localised, then I'm certainly not going to say no, but it's not anything to do with me.
