Re: [Foundation-l] [Wikitech-l] FlaggedRevs status/news?

Gerard, thank you for your kind comments. I think the system you have set up at Betawiki is extraordinary, and is a fantastic tool for helping people access "the sum of all knowledge" in their own languages. The "qqq" messages are a fantastic idea (though I can't quite see where to find them of Betawiki...) For Hebrew we would like the extension set up with due haste. We prefer translating the messages when we can test their meanings in context and revise our translations accordingly. We also plan to make some important local modifications to the interface that are Wikisource-specific (such as the parameters for defining the quality of a page), but we cannot even begin to do so until the extension has been installed! This last factor is a need that Betawiki, outstanding as it is, cannot provide for. A good part of the interface has already been translated in any case. It would reflect good will on your part if you clarified that while your suggestions are personal recommendations, you nonetheless understand that the decisions of communities with other views should be honored and implemented. I ask the developers to implement the decision of the Hebrew Wikisource community as found in Bug 14648, along with the other languages that they have kindly implemented recently. We have been waiting for this for quite a long time, and will provide a quality localization of the system messages. While Gerard's views on localization-as-prerequisite-in-every-case are important to consider, he is not a member of the community that has requested the extension.
