Hoi,
This seems to be yet another fine mess that the Commons crowd is
getting itself into. The question is when will they learn that they
are serving the other projects and that their good intentions have
resulted in projects NOT adopting Commons because of the fiendly
cooperation as it is perceived.
What do they think they achieve by doing this? Is
this in the interest
of the projects? Is this the considered opinion of the Commons
community or is it a solitary excercise? It is indeed a great way of
creating more hostility.
Thanks,
GerardM
It was a solitary decision by Arnomane. He does raise a good point -
"it does harm severely the up to date localised pages if you need to
search them between lots of other links, others are still accessible
directly" - there is a link to "other languages" at the end of the
language list, so nothing is lost, really, just made less prominent,
although I think that making the links to more up-to-date languages bigger
and the other ones smaller would probably be a better idea.
Hoi,
Does it really ? When you are looking for information, and you are
looking for it in your language, you do not care if the information is
correct in Dutch Farsi Russian Chinese German or French when you do not
read those languages. When you insist on making some languages less
prominent, by inference the people who use these languages are less
prominent. There is a word for it ..
It is abundantly true that we need better support for the localisation
of our project and of our software. There is a subcommittee that deals
with communication and translation. I am sure that they were consulted
before these punitive measures were enacted.
Thanks,
GerardM
