Since there were no objections, I have committed the patch for the watchlist checkbox in article edit mode (Magnus has given me CVS access). I have checked out a second copy and tested it quite thoroughly, but let me know if there are any problems.
Note that I obviously don't have all translations, so I hope people will eventually send us the translated strings.
I have also sent a request for further feedback regarding the sidebar links to wikipedia-l, and will commit that patch as well if there are no objections.
If anyone actually reads this mail, I would appreciate some advice: Is there a way to tell CVS to ignore my LocalSettings.php? .cvsignore only ignores files that are not in the repository.
Regards,
Erik
