Hoi!
Well... It did not happen with pms, because we got there and had the starting pms text imported from our own. So when it got redistributed it was our stuff once again, and we manage all modifications ourselves.
It's nice to have a single interface in your language distributed all over the different wikies, I use our pms version even in en:wiki and I find it handy to have a constant UI environment, no matter what's the content language. But no doubt it's unpleasant to loose things, especially if they were elaborated in long years of work...
Maybe you could simply organise a better co-ordination level? The original files can be imported into the central distro, AFAIK. So anyone downloading mediawiki will have the best possible NL interface.
Tot ziens! Bèrto

I'm slightly confused, can you explain it further?
There seems to be a project, on itself a very good idea, to translate the MediaWiki texts in various languages. However, apparently someone thought those were so good (and they definitely are not) that without any further discussion they should replace what we have put on WikipediaNL ourselves. We have been working on our current versions for 3.5 years. That might be a sign that they are not very bad in most cases.
